In a Kansas church yesterday, Dr. George Tiller was shot to death during a Sunday morning service.
The motive? Dr. Tiller worked at a women's health care clinic in Topeka where late-term abortions are performed. So I'm assuming that the gunman was an anti-choicer who thought he was rescuing babies or avenging the deaths of the aborted.
Many of the militant anti-choicers cite religion as their motivation. Do they forget that the bible forbids murder, and that two wrongs don't make a right?
In post-Roe America, abortion is legal. Murder is not. So, if they want to put an end to abortion, their best bet is to work to prevent the unwanted pregnancies that lead to abortions in the first place. And that, ironically, means supporting planned parenthood clinics.
