Seamless Garment

Sing a love song for the first to fall
And keep singing until they fight no more.

Abortionist George Tiller, certainly not the first to fall. But for a part of the movement that calls itself "pro-life" (no matter what AP guidelines now say), the person who chose to kill him certainly did not make a pro-life choice. While I never intend to give up this fight, I do know that adding to death is not the way for life to win.

Pro-life groups and individuals around the nation have jumped to express their outrage at this action, with the notable exception of Randall Terry (who has subsequently received media attention for his lonely reaction). Each statement looks similar: a short paragraph or two, expressing sympathy for his family and reaffirming the pro-life message that all life is sacred and no one should have theirs taken away. How can anyone call themselves against abortion because it is murder, and then murder someone? It doesn't make sense to anyone with logic or empathy, especially not a reasonable pro-lifer.
