I have read many responses to the killing of George Tiller, but there is one that is a little different. This is an interesting response from Bryan Kemper of Stand True, www.standtrue.com
An Abortionist was Aborted Yesterday – Stand True's Response
Yesterday morning, abortionist George Tiller was aborted as he walked into his church. Someone decided to take the law into their own hands and abort him for what he has done to thousands of innocent little baby boys and girls.
Stand True does not believe in aborting abortionists and denounces this violent act. Answering the violence of abortion with more violence will not serve the babies or help the pro-life movement in any way. We are praying for the family of George Tiller and those in his church while he was shot. We know that healing can come through Jesus and pray those involved in the abortion industry will turn to Christ.
I am sure some of you are trying to figure out why I would be so insensitive as to use the term “aborted” when referring to the murder of George Tiller. I wonder of those who think I am being insensitive are also people who would be mad when I use the term “murdered” when talking about babies who are aborted? In all reality I am being very sensitive to the abortion industry by saying he was aborted, since that is the term they like to use to describe the taking of a life.
While this may sound very sarcastic, I am truly saddened by yesterday's events. However I am also saddened that yesterday, 4,000 babies were also murdered. I am saddened that today, 4,000 babies will be murdered. I am saddened that tomorrow, 4,000 babies will be murdered.
I am saddened that the news media will not be reporting on the horrific fate of those 4,000 innocent babies who are just as human as and deserving of the same protection as George Tiller.
I am saddened that the police who so diligently searched for and apprehended the man who aborted George Tiller; are the same police who protect the men and women who abort little baby boys and girls.
I listened to commentators talking on the news about how we need to “tone down” our rhetoric to avoid violence. What they refuse to see is that our rhetoric is crying out against violence, the violence of child killing. We are the ones who are trying to bring an end to violence and 4,000 murders a day.
I have seen what happens is the past when an abortionist is aborted, the pro-life movement seems to shy away from action. I have seen people drop out of the movement and back away from getting involved.
If anything, we need to step up our fight against violence and the killing of human persons. What yesterday showed us is that hearts have been hardened to life and we must shine the light of Christ and Hope into this dark world even brighter then ever.
I urge all of you who believe in the sanctity of human life to stay focused. Do not let this despicable act of cowardice sway you from standing up and being a voice for the babies. I know things will be tough, as people will judge us just for being associated with pro-life. We must reiterate that the abortion of George Tiller was not a pro-life act, just as the murder of 4,000 children a day are not pro-life acts.
As for using the term “aborted” when referring to the death of George Tiller. I will stop using that term when the pro-abortion industry starts calling abortion “homicide”, which is what it is. I am simply using their own term to describe the taking of a human life; they should have no problem with it.
For Christ I stand,
Bryan Kemper

Awesome column. Amen.
i just wonder why people keep defending abortion with a womans right to choose did they ever think when they had sex that , THAT was the time for them to choose , CHOOSE the responsability that was to be the result of their choice at THAT TIME !!!
Just a couple of things to think about:
1. People who are pro-choice do not believe that fetuses are human beings, which means that they will never and can never concede that abortion is homicide. There is a barrier there that will likely never be bridged.
2. There is no such thing as "the abortion industry". Women who get abortions are not out shopping around to find the best price. They are ashamed and scared and have been told by a lot of people they trust that abortion is a safe way out.
Please, just pray for the women who become pregnant when they don't want it. Please offer to adopt unwanted subsequent children. Please stop calling people who get abortions "murderers" because if they honestly thought they were killing a human, believe me when I say that they wouldn't do it.
You know, OperationCounterstrike, you seem like a very cruel and selfish person. I don't like you very much.
and do you really have the right to kill what's living in your body if you put it there in the first place?
Abortion is not MURDER-Yet a moral choice!
Abortion was declared lawful because of the United States fourteenth amendment of due process. The United States Supreme Court ruled that a mother may abort her fetus until it is viable outside the womb or to protect the health of the maternal parent. Further research has found that personhood does not start at conception. American people need to realize hate crimes among those like the most recent shooting death of Dr. Tiller in Wichita, Kansas was a selfless act and one that denies women’s rights. An individual must be given human rights unless its presence hinders with the right of life and liberty of another conscious human being such as that of the mother of the zygote. With this said a fetus does not have rights until post birth for the reasoning clearly stated in an article “Why Abortion is Moral” written by Brian Mckinley “You cannot have two entities with equal rights occupying one body. One will automatically have veto power over the other-and thus they don’t have equal rights” (2008).Many who oppose abortion such as Mr. Masters with Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs are “convinced that the preborn child is a human being” in contrast however, we must look at personhood and when personhood truly begins. A renowned Philosophy Professor Mary Ann Warren wrote many essay’s on the right of abortion. She like others believe that there is certain markers of personhood such as consciousness with the ability to feel pain, self-awareness, self motivation, and reasoning. According to Warren, “A being need not exhibit all of these criteria to qualify as a person with a right to life, but if a being exhibits none of the (or perhaps only one), then it is certainly not a person” (1973).
