Dr. Tiller's Murder: Tragic, Not Senseless

Summary


If you're intellectually honest, however, murdering an abortionist isn't inherently "senseless." If you believe (as I. do) that life begins at conception, then the first cellular division after a sperm fertilizes the ovum represents human life every bit as much as you and I.

"Dr. Tiller was well-known for providing abortions for women who discovered late in pregnancy that their fetuses had severe or fatal birth defects," reports the Wall Street Journal. "He also aborted healthy late-term fetuses. Some of his patients, he said, were drug addicted and some were as young as 9 years old." Complexity is so damned complicated. He aborted healthy late-term babies? Sickl But who wants a 9-year-old girl to become a mom? Not me.
