On May 31, 2009, Scott Roeder purportedly took the words of the bible literally, “an eye for an eye” when he murdered Dr. Geroge Tiller. Tiller, the former executive director of one of three clinics in the United States who provide late term abortions was shot and killed in his church the morning of May 31st. The article New York Post article, “Abortion Doctor Tiller Gunned Down at Church,” recaps this tragic event and the effects it has had on Tillers family. Tiller’s wife proclaims this heinous action committed by Roeder as “a loss for the city of Wichita and women across America.” The writer described Tiller as a “courageous provider” and a man who was “making a change.”
In 1973 the United States Supreme Court decided in the landmark case Roe v. Wade to make abortion legal in the United States. The Court held that a woman may abort her pregnancy for any reason, up until the "point at which the fetus becomes viable.” This controversial decision has been a heated debate for decades. Christianity will argue that Dr. Tiller has committed murder for years on the babies who he “aborted.” The death of Dr. Tiller is truly a tragic loss for his family. Yet, is it right to call a man who in many people’s eyes committed murder throughout the majority of his life on innocent babies who never had the gift of taking their first breathe. Was he really “courageous” and making a “change”?

No, do you know it is a serious thing to accuse people of things they are not guilty of and to assume their motives? Scott Roeder did not shoot that babykilling abortionist because the Bible says an eye for an eye but to save unborn babies from being murdered.
ReplyDeleteIt was a righteous and noble act and Scott Roeder is a hero for saving those babies from being put to death.
