Thank you for posting this defence of true pro life activists.

Agreed.

Of course, your post doesn’t give any food to those who would attempt to smear the pro-life movement through guilt-by-association with this murderer. So, it’s not as hot as it could be.

But it was the right thing to write and post.

Thank you very much, The Other McCain.

For the first time in a long time, we had the upper hand in the nation…it was changing…minds were being changed by truth. It was very heartening. This was like a huge punch in the gut…I really couldn’t believe it and I didn’t sleep last night much.

It hurts because I did believe Tiller needed to be incarcerated for his crimes. I wanted to see rightful judgement handed down by the state. I wanted to see light shed on his practice. Heck, anyone wanting to see what Tiller actually did can do a simple google image search and walk a mile in his shoes…as someone on Twitter said, “Tiller was a gifted surgeon.” Do the google search and see what he performed surgery on.

With that said, knowing that some utter fool took Tiller’s life was so utterly unfair and I am still shocked. It is unfortunate, unfair, unrighteous, and unhelpful.

At the same time, I concur with the above commenter who said we must NOT hold back or make apologies and we must gently take whatever opportunity we can to open up into the daylight what practices Tiller was involved in. Let’s disallow euphemism…if they must refer to prolifers, make the left look at the practices they are defending, by extension. This is what we have to do and be unafraid to do even when it grows increasingly dangerous to speak out against the criminality of abortion.
