President Obama made this statement about Dr. George Tiller’s murder:
“However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.”
I completely agree. Sunday’s event of Dr. Tiller’s murder is truly tragic. If you disagree with someone, murder is not the answer to that debate. If that was the case than everyone would be killed. Peaceful protests, passionate debate and respect for an individual’s life are critical elements when dealing with those that disagree with your convictions, standards and preferences.
Dr. George Tiller was passing out church bulletins yesterday when Scott Roeder entered the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas. He would shoot and kill Dr. Tiller then wave the gun at a least two persons before fleeing the screen. Later, he would be arrested.
As I have said before, this is tragic. I did not agree with what Dr. Tiller did, but I would never want someone to be killed. Dr. Tiller was one of the last three doctors in America that would perform late-term abortions and because of that he was a target for a lot of threats and criticism. You can disagree with an individual without being violent. But today we have witnessed the “heinous acts of violence” by an individual.
May justice be brought to be pass.
