The murder of Dr. George Tiller on Sunday shocked the nation and has been condemned by people on both sides of the abortion debate. He was gunned down in his church in an act so low and despicable it defies description.
All violence in the name of opposition to abortion must be and is condemned by the real pro-life community. Acts like the horrific murder of Dr. Tiller are not only a violation of basic human decency, and the rules of law and civilization, but they hurt the pro-life cause.
I won't gloss over what Tiller did. It was wrong and I would have liked to have seen him shut down, but never in a million years would I or any decent person wish to see him hurt, let alone killed. It is a sad day in America when someone decides to take the law into their own hands and become judge, jury, and executioner.
