Robert P. George
Whoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing.— Robert P. George is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University.
The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands.
No private individual had the right to execute judgment against him. We are a nation of laws. Lawless violence breeds only more lawless violence. Rightly or wrongly, George Tilller was acquitted by a jury of his peers. "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." For the sake of justice and right, the perpetrator of this evil deed must be prosecuted, convicted, and punished. By word and deed, let us teach that violence against abortionists is not the answer to the violence of abortion. Every human life is precious. We do not teach the wrongness of taking human life by wrongfully taking a human life.
Let our "weapons" in the fight to defend the lives of abortion's tiny victims be chaste weapons of the spirit.
