Abortion

Editor, Times-Union:

Eighteen-year-old Tyler Weinman was recently arrested for allegedly killing 19 cats in South Florida. One newspaper headlined the story of Weinman "terrorizing" South Florida.

Weinman is considered a terrorist for allegedly killing 19 cats, and George Tillman is considered a hero for murdering over 60,000 children, nearly the entire population of Kosciusko County. Children of the age that hospitals are built and dedicated in saving.

The earliest birth that has survived so far is 21 weeks. Twenty-four weeks seems to be the most viable at the current state of science and medical procedures. Standard pregnancy is 40 weeks. Mr. Tiller specialized in late-term abortions, meaning the babies who could live outside the womb were murdered. Sixteen weeks or four months of viability, where the good doctor would kill. If they were in any different building, life-saving procedures would be administered.

I am sure it will be close as to who will get more jail time, Weinman for killing 19 cats or Scott Roeder for killing a massmurderer. The blood of both Tiller's infanticide and his murderer were both the results of what happens when we don't follow the laws of God.

Was Scott Roeder right in murdering Tiller? No, of course not. It is our fault as a society to allow the butchering of the innocents. It is the hardness of our own hearts that we allow the living baby of a botched abortion to die in a waste basket. Not a blob of cells, but real hands, feet, fingers, toes, a beating heart, a sucking thumb.
