George Tiller RIP

We must start this blog by saying "Eternal rest grant onto him O Lord". We must continue to say, a society that tries to solve it's problems with violence, is a society that will only create more violence. On May 31st. George Tiller was shot and killed at 10:00AM in his church. The suspect, a white male, was apprehended by the law, shortly after the killing.

The suspect has been identified as 51 yr. old Scott Roeder of Merrian, Kansas. The suspect appears to have an affiliation with extremist political groups, but not with the mainstream pro-life movement. Immediately, the media linked the killing of George Tiller to the pro-life movement. Even though, every major pro-life group, condemned the killing.
 
George Tiller was acquitted of all charges last month in a trial in Kansas. However, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, stated it was bringing 11 charges against Tiller's license. The Board accused Tiller: "Performing an abortion on a fetus that was viable, without having a documented referral from another physician, not legally or financially affiliated with him; unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, or professional incompetency; and commitment of acts likely to deceive, defraud or harm the public." In other words, Dr. Tiller was in danger of losing his license to practice his gruesome profession shortly. 

Just hours after the shooting, death of late term abortionist George Tiller, and without a potential suspect, leading pro-abortion organizations immediately blamed the pro-life advocates for his death. They painted the pro-life community with a broad brush, accusing them of setting a climate, leading to Tiller's death. In fact, Vicki Saporta, President of the National Abortion Federation said: "Individuals who oppose the right to choose, have used violence to try to advance their extreme anti-choice agenda." Planned Parenthood's President, Cecile Richards, said: "He was continually harassed by abortion opponents for much of his career." 

All of this hoopla, when the suspect's motives are virtually unknown. Major media outlets immediately took up the cry, "Confirm Sonya Sotomayor." I found it interesting, that the pro-abortion groups, spent most of their time blaming the pro-life movement, rather than commending the soul of Dr. Tiller to Almighty God, and making statements that violence doesn't solve social problems. 

The consequences to the pro-life movement, from this random act of violence are still unknown. The media controls the airways, and spins the story. The facts spun, by the media, will not have any relevance to the actual facts of the case. One fact the media has left out, is that George Tiller performed partial-birth abortions and late trimester abortions. That's his legacy.
