I was asked after Tiller’s death “What good did it do to kill Tiller, when someone else would fill Tiller’s shoes?” They were referring to abortionist Leroy Carhart. Carhart could not fill Tiller's bloody shoes. He has his own baby-killing practice. He cannot waltz into Tillers building, and order Tiller’s staff to help him kill babies. He cannot do the administrative work, nor does he have the friends or political contacts; he probably does not have the skill to kill the big babies without harming the mother.

If anybody could do what Tiller did his practice would not be so unique. Paul Seamars was an abortionist in Milwaukee. He left town after he and his wife went through a divorce. His wife hired a hit-man from New Jersey to do the abortions. That arrangement did not prove profitable and the death camp folded. Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics likens the abortionist to a ball bearing factory in Nazi Germany. When America entered WW2 we were faced with bombing hundreds of factories producing war machines, or bomb just one ball bearing factory for which all of these machines depended.

We bombed the snot out of the ball bearing factory and German production of war materials came to a halt. Tiller’s baby-killing operation is closed because there is no George Tiller to run it. We might thank Tiller’s shooter for that. Troy Newman has tried every legal maneuver to get Tiller thrown in jail or to get his death camp closed. We applaud his efforts, but they have failed to stop Tiller’s bloody hands. I believe that God called Troy Newman and Tiller’s shooter to do what they did. Troy to exhaust all practical and legal means, and Tiller’s shooter to stop him sure.

Troy condemns the shooter for taking Tiller’s life. Troy tells us that Tiller’s medical license was going to be pulled in just two short months! Anyone who has been following this story knows that Tiller was in no danger of losing his practice. Tiller was acquitted of violating Kansas law. Why would the Kansas Medical Board pull his license?

Even if Troy was right, how many babies would Tiller kill in two months? That is how many babies the shooter saved by aborting Tiller.I do not advocate vigilante justice; I believe we need to pursue due process of law whenever possible. But due process of law is not forthcoming, vigilante justice is all the babies have, and vigilante justice is better than no justice at all. It was announced this 9th day of June, 2009, that Tiller’s practice is permanently closed.

Yes, Virginia, sometimes the end does justify the means.
