The family of slain abortion provider George Tiller said Tuesday that his Wichita clinic will be "permanently closed," effective immediately.Don't get me wrong...I'm very glad to see Tiller's baby-killing operation close its doors. He's been slaughtering defenseless babies for years, often with the almost universally-despised partial birth abortion procedure.In a statement released by Tiller's attorneys, his family said it is ceasing operation of Women's Health Care Services Inc. and any involvement by family members in any other similar clinic.
What disturbs me is to think about the handful of wackos who will take this as a green light that all they have to do to end abortion is to kill all abortionists, and thus start attacking, killing, and generally unleashing violence in the name of pro-lifers everywhere. While I share their desired ends, I totally reject their means, and I fear that even a couple more incidents like this -- aside from the obvious moral and legal WRONGNESS of it -- will paint the pro-life movement in such a poor light that all of its significant progress in recent years will be reversed.
There are ways to fight this battle; violence is not it.
There's my two cents.
