I have sent this to LDR. Let's see if they will have enough nerve to print it in Sunday's edition.
I am amazed at the accolades bestowed upon George Tiller, the Kansas abortionist, by our national TV media outlets this week. I refuse to use the title of doctor for him because he specialized in destroying life instead of saving it.
Let me say at the outset that I do not condone the killing of this man Tiller, but I must also say that he certainly lived much longer and enjoyed a much fuller life on earth than the 60,000 infants he murdered during his lifetime.
He was one of only five doctors in the United States who have so little compassion for human life that they can continue day after day to assassinate in cold blood these innocent babies who are just days away from birth. These are not potential human lives as some claim, but fully developed infants with heartbeats you can hear long before they exit the womb.
His victims numbered 60,000 at last count. That is almost twice the amount of men, women and children who live in Laclede County, and more than one-third of the total population of Greene County, including Springfield.
That is 60,000 precious babies who will never know the comfort of being held at their mothers’ breast or having their daddy rock them to sleep in his arms.
That is 60,000 toddlers who will never know the joy of swinging as high as they can go, or sliding down the plastic slide at the park, or hearing mommy read a bed time story to them.
That is 60,000 elementary age children who will never play soccer nor softball, never attend Sunday School, never go to a fair or the circus, and never meet the challenge of blowing out all the candles on their birthday cake.
That is 60,000 high school students who will never know the thrill of walking across the stage to the stirring strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” to receive their high school diploma, nor open that long awaited letter of acceptance from the university of their choice as they make plans for the career of their dreams.
That is 60,000 young men and women who will never be a bride, nor a groom, nor know the thrill of welcoming their first child into this world.
Had Tiller waited until those babies had taken their first breath outside the womb, he would have been held criminally liable for murder. But they were victims of discrimination because of their place of residence, inside their mother’s body where they had no place to run or hide to escape the cruel instruments of torture and death which invaded their private space at the hands of this monster.
This week I have known the great joy of having my two granddaughters spend a few days in my home, one of them a 9 year old who was born prematurely at an age even younger than most of Tiller’s victims. She is an intelligent beautiful born-again Christian already at this young age. My heart aches for family members, especially grandparents, who will never know the joy of loving these 60,000 children Tiller murdered.
And if any of you readers would dare to disagree with me, let me ask you just one question. Aren’t you glad your mother didn’t believe in abortion?
