Kansas Abortion Doctor Slain; Suspect In Custody : NPR

Kansas Abortion Doctor Slain; Suspect In Custody : NPR.

Firstly condolences to family, friends & fellow church members. It is a real tragedy.

We do not yet know who killed this man or why, but anti-abortion extermists have been blamed. This tragedy can foment more anger and animosity between the factions on either side of the abortion debate.

Tragedy is often a spring board for other agendas (for even this discussion). I wonder if it's worth speculating about all this without knowing the motive behind Tiller's killing? Perhaps we should lay off the wild theories until the crime is solved?

What do you think?

  1. We know who he is now. And it may well be that the dude is a paranoid schizophrenic. That said, no question that the rhetoric and practices of the extremist element in the Pro-Life movement bears some responsibility for actions of this kind.

    Agreed - from what I read regarding the anti-abortion response it's pretty salty rhetoric.
