Dr. George Tiller Killed at Church

It was very strange for me to hear about the murder of Dr. Tiller today. This is why. Just last night, actually very early this morning, I was thinking about partial birth abortion and how terrible it is, and dreadfully, how painful it must be for the babies. I couldn't sleep, and never can when my wife is out of town, and for some reason this thought came to mind. I also thought that as much as I'm against it, and as wrong as I think it is, besides faithfully voting pro-life, I've done precious little about it.

The other thing that occurred to me is how many professed Christians are pro-abortion, up to and including our President. Our President, the wise like Solomon Barack Obama, can't decide when a baby is a baby. When asked when life began he said "That's above my pay grade." Well, he's president now. Is it still above his pay grade? If it's a life, and you end it, then it's murder. So if you're not really sure, wouldn't ere on the side of caution, or rather, ere on the side of life? Because maybe, just maybe, it's a living human being and if we abort it, then we just murdered someone.

But 'Christians' go around voting for Democrats, jumping on President Obama's bandwagon, feeling like they're progressive, and hoping that the government will take care of poor people because as Christians, you know, they really care about poor people.

Anyway, I'm just saying that's what was going through my head this morning.

Then I log on and see a news story that Dr. Tiller was murdered, in church! Taking the offering! I cannot justify his murder at all. I believe in the rule of law. St. Paul tells me I ought to obey the laws of my land. However, I am not sad that Dr. Tiller will not be performing anymore late term abortions. Also, I cannot say that his murder was punishment. Many people who don't perform abortions are murdered every day.

So tonight, before I attempt sleep, I'll pray that something good will come of this. Somehow I feel this is a set back for pro-life. Yet, if there is an abortion scheduled for tomorrow in Wichita that won't be performed, I won't be disappointed.
