Murder In Wichita

George Tiller, an abortion doctor here in Wichita, KS, was murdered this morning.  Read the full story from Kansas.com here.

Now, the killer is still on the run, and his motives are not entirely known.  Many theorize that he was a pro-lifer who was fed up with abortion, who was tired of the state not taking action, and who decided to take matters into his own hands to try and end this evil of abortion.  If that was the case, I believe that the killer should have stayed around to be willingly arrested — give his life since he took another.  This would’ve been a very political way to have done this evil.

Yet, the fact that he fled makes me wonder if this was more personal.  In a press conference at the scene of the murder, police said that they don’t know the motives.  I then developed a theory of my own.

What if this murder was not political, but personal?  Should the murderer be a man whose wife had an abortion of his baby without his consent, would people be responding to the news of Tiller’s death differently?  I believe that if this is so, the entire abortion debate would be turned on its head because a person who is not responding to his stance in the pro-life or pro-choice camp, but who is acting for personal reasons, committed this heinous crime.

I do not condone the murder of George Tiller.  I believe it to be a great evil.  Yet, I am excited to see how the Lord is going to use this in the world to bring forth His will.  I will be watching and waiting.
