Roeder & Tiller, murderers, not heroes

Hear Their Cry

Pro-Life Organizations, their leadership and their members are almost unanimous in their condemnation of the murder of late-term and partial-birth abortionist George Tiller.

In think Katie Walker of the American Life League (ALL) put it best and she speaks for the Pro-Life community when she says, "This was a senseless act of violence similar to how all abortions are senseless acts of violence. We condemn the violence perpetrated against George Tiller, and we also condemn the violence perpetrated on millions of children in the womb."

Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) warned, “Pro-abortionists will try to negate all the hard work and sacrifice of the millions of pro-lifers who help women and their unborn babies. What makes this more exasperating is that Troy Newman of Operation Rescue and other Kansas pro-life groups and lawmakers had Tiller’s clinic on the verge of closer through the legal process. Tiller’s murder was a senseless act.”

We will hear much in the days ahead about “those behind the violent act against Dr. Tiller.” Well, Roeder had a history of mental illness, and I suspect he acted alone. The alleged President, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama, and the Pro-Death Democratic Party leadership will seek justification for further harassment of the Pro-Life Community as well as seek gun control measures based on this senseless act. They only do it to advance their political agenda and push their far-left, socialist agenda.

On the other side, there may be a few extremists who will praise what Scott Roeder did. The court system and judges are very derelict in dealing out justice, however, to keep anarchy and vigilantism from occurring in our society we must reject the violence. Yesterday, Martin Luther King’s peaceful civil rights protests rejected the violence of such groups as the Black Panthers. Today, as we pursue the latest civil rights challenge on behalf of the most vulnerable and most innocent persons in our society, we must reject the violence of the Scott Roeders of the world.

Many Pro-Death advocates and extreme feminists such as Kim Grady of the National Organization of Women (NOW) consider Tiller to be a ‘champion’ or a hero. For example, Grady stated, “Women across the country have lost a champion today. The cold-blooded murder of Dr. George Tiller this morning in church is a stark reminder that women's bodies are still a battleground, and health care professionals are on the frontlines.” Grady doesn't mention targets of the violence of the abortionist, the baby in the womb. What about the violence that Tiller and the abortion industry perpetrates against them?

Truly, neither Tiller nor Roeder were heroes or champions. They were both murderers. One murdered many and ruined the lives of countless men and women. While the other murdered one. Both are guilty of wicked and vile deeds.
