(I didn't hear about it until I got to work yesterday and it was on the front page of the newspaper.) It was interesting to hear what people had to say "he got what he deserved" was the one that stuck out the most. Yes, as a firm believer in pro-life and giving the unborn the same rights you would a child whom you could tangibly feel and look in the eye, I whole-heartedly believe that abortion is murder - but did Dr. Tiller deserve to be shot to death inside his own church? In front of his family? It can be a hard situation to reckon with. My greatest disappointment in the pro-life/Christian community in this time is in that church from Topeka that was picketing his funeral with signs such as "murderer in hell" - that is awful. How can people who claim to be for the sanctity of life be rejoicing in such a death? Sanctity of life is not limited to the unborn.
