Murder is no way to show that abortion is murder. This is not the type of news I like to hear out of my home city. Shame on he who did this:

Murder is no way to show that abortion is murder. This is not the type of news I like to hear out of my home city. Shame on he who did this:
My dad is on his way to Wichita as we speak; he is the synod rep for that church. How awful that someone felt it would prove the “sacredness of life” by taking the life of this man.
Agreed! And amen! This is NOT the way to protest.
Fanatics who think murder sends a message that you are against murder need to think again!
Have a great day!
Oh, that’s just terrible. For the record, even people (um, by people I mean me) who are pro-choice don’t think a nut-job like this is representative of the majority of people who oppose abortion (just like I’d hope most pro-lifers don’t think that everyone on the “other side” thinks it’s peachy to just skip around having abortions willy-nilly as a form of birth control or at 8 and a half months…)
Two wrongs dont make a right… that’s awful!!!
I am 100% anti-abortion. I am also 100% against those who are 100% pro choice. This does not solve anything. And worse, it makes those of us who are against abortion look like fanatics (lunatics – fill in the blank).
@Amanda: Exactly. I don’t care what a man’s done, one never has the right to murder him.
@WhatACard: Thanks. Though you must admit it certainly doesn’t help the cause.
All: No one’s death has shooken (okay, I think that’s bad grammar) me up as much as his since Heath Ledger’s. While this man’s deeds could perhaps save a couple of lives, I doubt even that much as people will seek help elsewhere. Taking justice into your own hands is never okay. As I was telling a friend, this reminds me of the quote from American Outlaws when Jesse James decides to take matters into his own hands, “Whose justice, yours or God’s?”
Well said, Ronnica.
One can’t murder in support of the pro-life cause. I’m asking people to pray for his surviving family. I believe that that’s a widow, four children, and ten grandchildren.
@Wickle: Excellent idea to pray for his family. While what he did wasn’t right, his life was taken from him and a great evil was done not only to him, but his family.
I totally agree with you! I’m so sorry to hear this happened.
I agree. Doing things like this is 1. wrong, and 2. does not do anything for the pro-life movement. In fact, it does the opposite.
And now there are two families that have to bear the consequences.
I agree. I read that article yesterday and was so saddened. We talked about consequences of sin in ABF yesterday and how many people suffer for one person’s sin. This is a perfect example. How horrible that a life was taken and that the pro life movement will be greatly affected by this incident.
@Jacki: Yes, long after the public has moved on, two families will still be struggling with the consequences. We talk about how selfish it is to commit suicide, well, it’s certainly selfish to commit murder, too.
@Elizabeth: Exactly! Here we were talking about how Achan’s sin affected not only his entire family but the entire nation of Israel, and a RL example was happening as we spoke.
I completely agree with you…it was a despicably hypocritical and cowardly act. Not at all what Jesus would have done.
All good comments. As the saying goes, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.”
