Killer Defending Abortion

George Tiller

Abortion is a delicate theme to talk about since it has its pros and cons, so it is a wonderful subject to pick in an open discussion. However, I don't want to talk about what we all already know religion vs. freedom. I want to approach a news report that caught my eye about a person who killed an activist of abortion, which at the same time was a doctor who did this procedure. The name of this doctor was George Tiller who lived on Wichita, Kansas and was a clear activist of human rights. The killer's name was Scott Roeder who was given life imprisonment for killing the doctor while he was at the church. According to the article, he still doesn't regret what he has done. He thinks he had saved babies from being killed. Well, I think that this is not right. What about the doctor's life and the family he has destroyed? After all, the ones who take the choice are the pregnant women. The doctor just followed his ideas of what he think it was right. This doesn't mean I support abortion, I think that they are plenty of other alternatives a woman can follow, like giving the baby in adoption. Still, that is not a reason to kill someone, it's just sick. While abortion is permitted in Kansas, there are people who don't like it at all like this man.

I think that toleration is now on the floor. Besides the people who had to be present on this act, the government applied a big sanction on this man. I think he deserves it because he killed a man. The sanction he received comes from all the months that this man Roeder stalked Dr. Tiller. I think that Dr. Tiller, as a women's right activist, supported this procedure because the woman will have the free choice. However, I disagree with this man about the free choice they are allowed to make. We're talking about a life here, which already has rights. They are violating the most important human right, which is the respect for life. A baby is too weak, he/she can't defend himself or herself. According to some studies, they cry their lungs out when the vacuum is introduced.



This man wants his opinion to be heard, but in the wrong way. There are better alternatives to achieve our goals. He violated the law he was defending, ending with the human life. We can't live guided by our impulses and desires. We have to stop and think twice before acting.
