First off, Tiller's murder is the most disgusting excuse for a hypocrite that I could ever imagine. You are supposed to be representing ProLIFE, and yet you feel you have the right to hold judgement over someone else's life? I thought the idea of being Prolife was to protect the lives of ALL living things. I feel you are a stain to the very movement. In your eyes sure, Tiller is considered a murderer himself, but he performed his job under LEGAL LEGISLATURE. He wasn't a back-alley abortionist. He was a law-abiding citizen, whom you brutally murdered, in church, in front of his wife. You thought YOU were worthy of passing ultimate judgement? Have fun when it's your turn.
Second, Bill O'Reilly's coverage of the murder was not much better. While I don't think he is wholly to blame for the murder (it was definitely that psycho's own undoing, he didn't need O'Reilly's help), for O'Reilly to turn the tables and claim victim in this scenario is offensive, and completely inappropriate. He doesn't hold back ripping into Tiller post-mortem, claiming that the worst part of the scandal is him getting blamed for the murder. Wake up O'Reilly, you are not the victim here. A man's life is gone, and you continue to call him a murderer, for operating under the same law and regulation that we all answer to.
I'm not saying a completely approve of abortion, or that I choose one way or the other. The fact is, the guy was not doing anything wrong by our country's standard, albeit not our social standards. Yet the monster who chose to take his life, that is clearly wrong. That should be what we focus on, not how the Right is taking a PR hit. A man is dead for no reason except an over-zealous felt he had the right to take someone else's life.
Here is an article I read some of the details from: http://www.newshounds.us/2009/06/02/bill_oreilly_plays_the_victim_in_abortion_doctor_murder.php
