The Killing of George Tiller

@Kathy Snyder: Children are not "paradigms", and sperm are not "living beings".

This is real live human tragedy being played out daily, to the tune of 4,000 people being killed each and every day. They have intrinsic value from the moment of their conception till the time of their natural death, and must be treated with the dignity natural to them.

Dehumanizing, mechanical language contributes nothing to an honest dialogue.

As for Dr. Tiller, along with pro-lifers around the world I deplore his murder. Furthermore, I pray for him that he may find mercy before God for the heinous murders of the innocent and defenseless people that he himself performed.

But there is a larger question before our society even now - when will we stop treating 4,000 people a day as biological waste, and instead treat them with the respect and dignity intrinsic to all humanity?

When?

How can you feel so much compassion for the man who was killed and not feel compassion for the thousands and thousands of innocent children killed every year. What needs to fix in America: Society's view on young pregnancy. STOP judging the 17 year old walking down the street who is eight months pregnant. Look at her as a hero! A brave, strong, woman who has enough courage to put her own personal goals aside for 9 months to give the baby a chance. STOP saying, "stupid, girl, didn't use birth control." How do you know that? To all of you who have had sex before marriage, it could've been you. It just wasn't. By offering more support and to young mothers the abortion numbers WILL go down.

There's no possible justification for this murder. But 60,000 abortions...one doctor. Wow, just wow. Those of you who are 100% pro-choice, no questions... that number doesn't give you just the littlest bit of pause?

Dr. Tiller made the statement that legal abortions were so women would stop from dying from illegal abortions. What a CROCK!!! Who is going to stand up for the baby so they don't have to Pregancy could be avoided if birth control was used. Why punish (kill) the baby just because the parents were stupid?

I believe that the choice belongs to the female yet I long for the day when children are valued beyond abortion. This paradigm will exist when we give equal scrutiny to the males who release sperm into females leading to scenarios that end with abortion.
Logic dictates that the place where one starts affects the premise from which all conclusions are drawn. When males regard sperm as living beings, with intrinsic value, the tide will turn and the protection of females and children will be the norm.
There is no place for sowing wild oats when females are the field left responsible for those wild oats.
It's time males make this demand on themselves and raise young boys with the understanding that they will become responsible for millions of living beings.
Males who target women and doctors who serve them should be the first to stand on a corner or roof top shouting to males to be the first source for the prevention of abortion because males have the ability to stop abortion by securing their sperm while it resides inside of them.

I have been hearing a lot of people asking why, if we are so against abortion, are we okay with this pig being killed? Well here is the answer.. HE IS NOT AN INNOCENT CHILD! He made his own choice to be a baby killer. No one forced him. His sick mind worked all on its own to decide to be a murderer. No child is asked to be brought into this world nor do they ask to be brought to this world.... NOT ONE! I can't understand why anyone would be okay with this. I am as pro- life as they come but I see some, more plausible reasons for having an abortion, such as pregnancy complications where either the mother or child's lives are in danger. Although I still don't agree. I do understand that to a certain extent. But why, if you are going to get an abortion would you wait until they baby is FULL TERM? The only answer to that is they are sick, heartless wastes of life who should have been aborted themselves. Or was she just too busy her other two trimesters to do it? THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS! We talk about terrorists and how we must stop them. What in the hell do you think these "women" and "doctors" are? They are terrorizing unborn children. We love our soldiers for protecting us and our country which is rightfully so.. But turn our backs to soldiers of life? What more beautiful and important thing can you fight for, if not the innocent children we let die every day? Answer that.. Answer that question.. And in most cases, abortions aren't being done because of medical risks to the mother. They are happening because the "woman" is too much of a coward to even support life for 9 months. Guess what you heartless "woman". IT'S CALLED ADOPTION! You would rather kill a child then bless a family with their life? You should be disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. No one but God can judge you but I have to say.. I want nothing but horrible things to happen to "women" like that, and the doctors who perform them. You deserve to feel the pain God and the unborn children feel every time this happens. If you are so pro- murder then are you saying you would have been fine if your mother had you scraped out? Just because "It's her right?" Think about that for a second. And also think about the fact that if there weren't people like me.. YOU WOULDNT BE HERE!

Regardless of what side of the abortion debate you are on, George Tiller's death is indeed a tragedy. The sign being held by the man in the smart video snapshot is quite disturbing as well. It's just another sad example how a few extremists can make an entire religion look bad. I truly feel sorry for someone as ignorant as that man...

The murder of George Tiller is certainly a tragedy, but so is the late term abortion of a fetus. It is difficult to know if these two tragedies can be equated, but clearly in the mind of Tiller's murderer they were. The issue continues to divide the US and does not look like it is heading for resolution anytime soon. It seems doubtful that the killing of this doctor will result in any progress being made in resolving this debate. I will say that I watched the documentary film "Lake of Fire" recently and was pretty disturbed by the "shock" footage of what an abortion really looks like. I have found it difficult to resolve the issue despite repeated attempts.

I'm pretty sure that the majority of Americans would agree that the murder of Tiller was wrong, although there are always extremists in every camp. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Also, the BBC quote is pretty interesting. I hope that Americans will never leave controversial issues 'up to the government'. When choices become hard, people prefer to dodge responsibility but that is the time when we as concerned citizens need to take responsibility the most.

The news should read "Abortion doctor Aborted" Do you not see the double standard here.A doctor can take the life of a human being"The Fetus"which has a brain,a beating heart, a soul,and it's called an abortion and is legal.On the other hand a man takes the life of "the abortion doctor"which has a brain, a beating heart, a soul, and it's called a murder and is illegal.This is not rocket science, it's common sense.We are guilty of projecting a doulbe standard.Also if a drunk driver hits a car with a women that is with child and she dies, he is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide.One for the mother and one for the unborn child the "Fetus"what about that,it's a human being according to this law?

if you are anti-abortion it is presumably because you value life. at that point, how can you justify murdering a man?

What about the torture inflicted on the most defenseless of citizens, I ask?

and tell me that it was to 'save' a woman's 'life'... (!!!!)

There are many sadists that go undetected among us. They are constantly on the search for legitimate expressions of their perversion. The sadist that killed Doctor Tiller was one of them. He was able to do it under the cloak of compassion. It was thought that he was a man concerned with the wrongfulness of late term abortions and the mother. But it will be discovered he never donated a dime to help mothers with their unwanted pregnancies. He was just a monster in disguise.
