Reality vs. the media

The media is reporting gleefully that the aftermath of the Tiller murder has put the pro-life movement in supposed "disarray" - yet the opposite is true. It seems the only time the media likes to talk about abortion is when an abortionist is killed, not every other day of the year when 3,600 children are being killed through surgical abortion daily. If the media were to ask any of the 2000 pregnancy centers, or statewide right-to-life chapters lobbying for legislative change, or the many pro-life committees based out of religious communities, they'd hear that nothing has changed, and the goal of protecting the unborn, helping parents and making a better society more receptive to life is still the job of everyone in the movement.

The death of George Tiller

George Tiller, infamous doctor known for performing partial-birth and late-term abortions in Wichita, Kansas was shot and killed yesterday in his church. The emotional trauma of abortion, fostered and reinforced by abortionists and the abortion industry, will sadly only be furthered by this act, not alleviated. The violence also denies the powerful opportunity for conversions, such as those by Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Norma McCorvey. The murder of George Tiller inflicts emotional distress like the abortions he routinely provided, and will not save any babies. It's a sad day in many ways, not the least of which is the knowledge that one 67 year old man has died, and thousands more babies are going to die tomorrow. We live amongst a culture of death.
