Two Wrongs

The infamous abortion doctor George Tiller, of Wichita, was murdered yesterday.

And believe it or not, this is bad news to the pro-life movement.

Tiller was infamous for his late-term abortions, which are little more than infanticide. But by murdering him, the pro-life cause may be seriously set back. The goal is to convince our society that abortion is a terrible, terrible evil in the world. Instead, a more tangible evil – the murderous gunman who assassinated Tiller in a church – is on display and the pro-life crowd will likely be associated with this violence in the minds of many.

This kind of violence could actually lead to more abortions during the administration of a pro-abortion president.

Murder is wrong. It's wrong when it happens in the abortion clinics of Kansas, just as it was wrong on Sunday in Wichita.
