I heard about this on the news a little earlier this evening: Doctor George Tiller was killed. That's not pro-life. That's not "pro" anything. A true pro-lifer would be working to help women in crisis pregnancies (in any of a number of ways), to foster or adopt children, or to help children in poverty. A true pro-lifer helps the poor and homeless. Many of us pro-lifers also oppose war and the death penalty.
A true pro-lifer doesn't kill. Period. And when I note that the killer shot Dr. Tiller while the doctor was in church, I pretty much run out of words.
I'm sorry for the loss Dr. Tiller's family and friends have suffered. I'm sorry that his life was wrongly cut short, and I'll pray for him and his family. I read that a suspect is in custody. I hope they have the perp, or that they get the perp, and that the justice system works.

I'm still kind of twitchy about this. Grr.
