Thoughts on the Tiller Murder + Pro-life vids…
Originally published at Modestia:
I was at the Thread Show when it happened and was so busy with being unconscious and all I haven’t had the time to mention it…but there’s a couple of things I’d like to say publicly.
I absolutely condemn the murder of George Tiller and I hope the guilty party will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I was angry when I first heard the news, because this murder will have huge consequences for the pro-life movement, whether the killer is connected to the movement or not.
Certain individuals of a certain ideology are convinced that Christians and pro-lifers are secretly glad he’s dead. I’m not glad George Tiller is dead. I’m certainly not surprised he’s dead, but I’m not glad either. Any person who relishes in this crime needs to reevaluate their respect for the dignity of life. Being pro-life indicates a respect and reverence for ALL human life, not matter how small, how large, or how “bad.”
And one more thing…I wouldn’t be surprised to see George Tiller in heaven. That’s right, I wouldn’t. Our God is infinitely merciful beyond the human imagination; I don’t believe in putting God’s mercy in a box.
That’s all folks.
In other news, Stephen Officer of Catholic Media House contacted me to report that they are giving away free downloads of The Miracle of Life in either English or Spanish. All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter.
