No Answer

Hearts and minds are to be won. Not lives taken. But at the same time, I would be a hypocrite if I did not confess that the phrase, "those who live by the sword . . ." resonates in my mind.
Unfortunately, I expect the pro-choice side to use this as an opportunity to label everyone on the pro-life side as dangerous "nut jobs."
Coincidentally, one of Tiller's minions was honored last week by Obama:
Gold Star Mother Betty Pulliam, who lost a son in Viet Nam, now works to take the lives of other women's sons and daughters at George Tiller late-term abortion mill in Wichita, Kansas. Yesterday, she breakfasted with President Obama and was honored in our nation's capital as part of a Memorial Day observance.
Pulliam, at 83, volunteers her time at Tiller's clinic on busy abortion days. She told the Wichita Eagle of her role as a Gold Star Mother, "You really don't want to belong to this club because in order to belong to this club, you have to lose a child. So nobody wants to belong to it."
Look to the skies . . .

Obama will get over it. He just needs to realize that this was a REALLY late term abortion.

I'm sure I'll just be prostrate with grief tonight. I'm sure I'll cry into my pillow all night.

What kind of church allows a known and unrepentant serial killer to worship?

I'll not shed a tear for him, nor pray for his sole.

"Live by the sword..." That was my first thought, too. I will, however, pray that God will be merciful to Tiller, as I pray for everyone who dies, regardless of their faith or state of grace. We all need God's mercy, right?

To Anonymous - That would be the Lutheran church...don't know exactly which branch, but I'd bet dollars to donuts it's the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). I used to be an ELCAer. They aren't pro-life because they waffle and use words like "reducing abortion." It's probably the very softest Lutheran branch here in the States.

I could say a lot of negative things about the ELCA, but I'll be charitable today and send them a hearty "Thank you!" for introducing me to liturgical worship and placing me on the path to Catholicism.
