Last Sunday morning, Dr. George Tiller was shot in the foyer of the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas. For many years, Dr. Tiller had been the subject of controversy for performing late-term abortions at his clinic, Women’s Health Care Services. In 1986, the clinic was bombed by pro-life protesters, and in 1993, Dr. Tiller was shot in both arms.
President Obama stated that he was “shocked and outraged” by the shooting, and added, “However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.”
I agree. No matter what religious or political views you have, bombings and killings are not solutions. They are sins, plain and simple. My prayers will be with the Tiller family and his church family.
