As an active anti-abortionist since I was in the 7th grade, I stand in shock as I see George Tiller is dead. As someone who was offered an abortion up to 26 weeks when I was 19 weeks pregnant, due to what they though was an "imperfect" baby, I know all too well how real late term abortions are and just how easy they are to obtain.
I am shocked that my first reaction was not of sadness. As a professing Christian, shouldn't I be sad for his murder? If I am against murder, even though he was a murderer, shouldn't I mourn for him? Isn't all life precious if I call myself pro-life?
Couldn't God in all his ability and power strike this man dead without any "help"? I do believe so. Does God truly call us to hunt down murderers and murder them? No - He does not.
I believe George Tiller's pastor should have approached him and taken care of this on a church discipline level. I think it is incredibly sad that he was at church, serving in church nonetheless, when he was gunned down. What a sad state that a pastor would allow this. What a sad state that we are so worried about offending people that someone who murdered innocent babies on a daily basis could sit in church Sunday after Sunday and never feel convicted about what he did. But, that is a different story for a different day.
Now, something sad I saw this morning on the news was a lady, crying no less, and saying she couldn't believe such evil could happen in her town. SUCH EVIL? What would she call the thousands of murders that occurred in her town on a daily basis? Where was her outcry then?
Now, I think we should all be praying hard. There are going to be ramifications from this for a long time. Pro-abortionists will make sure this man will be punished as an example so other anti-abortionists will get a warning. Not all anti-abortionists are people who would hunt down and murder the abortion doctors, but you better believe this man will be punished big time.
This will further the pro-abortion agenda that anti-abortionists are freak radicals who can't be trusted. Peaceful protests outside abortion clinics will now be monitored even more and the people protesting will be singled out as law breakers who need to be stopped.
This only inhibits our cause as anti-abortionists. Abortions are being done as I type this. Late term abortions are being done right now. You better believe our hard earned tax money is being spent right now paying the policemen to do extra patrols on abortion clinics and abortion workers. Police escorts are your right when you live in America and are under any threats. The police swear to protect us all.
It is up to God to judge and God only. I can't say that I know where George Tiller's soul is right now. I would think hell, even though he professed to be a Christian, due to his actions - but I can't judge his heart. Only God can judge our hearts.
Thank God only
He can judge our hearts. As a Christian, I shudder to think of anyone burning in hell, even someone as vile as George Tiller - who led a life as a murderer and blasphemer of our Lord - because Jesus Christ paid a huge price on the cross so we could all spend eternity with God our creator.
Pray with me as we suffer the backlash of a bad choice made by the shooter of George Tiller and as we pick the peices with God's help.
