Mind and Destiny

“I make no pretension to patriotism. So long as my voice can be heard ... I will hold up America to the lightning scorn of moral indignation. In doing this, I shall feel myself discharging the duty of a true patriot; for he is a lover of his country who rebukes and does not excuse its sins. It is righteousness that exalteth a nation while sin is a reproach to any people.”- Frederick Douglass

Murders Praised

When Dr. David Gunn was murdered in 1993, the militant anti-abortion movement made a hero out of his killer.  At least six of the people, who publicly declared themselves supporters of Dr.  Gunn’s killer, by signing a public declaration praising that murder, went on to do time for anti-abortion violent terrorism, including two murders.  Within two years of Dr. Gunn’s murder, seven more people were wounded at abortion facilities, and four more killed. The same radical fringe is calling Scott Roeder a hero and praising him.

Steve Deese, a radio talk show host on WHON in Ohio asked:  “Are babies in Kansas safer today than they were yesterday while George Tiller was still taking in oxygen?  Yes—is the answer to the question.  Maybe the fact that we have a lawless society that has not protected these babies from this infanticide created the Scott Roeders of the world, who in very John Brown-like fashion, illegally took matters into his own hands, saying if the system will not deal with an evil then to hell with the system.”

David Leach, who publishes a newsletter called “The Prayer and Action News” to which Scott Roeder submitted articles. Mr. Leach told The Associated Press, that: “He will be the hero to thousands of babies who will not be slain because Scott sacrificed everything for them.”  Leach told the Iowa Independent: “So far, the Bible discussion I have seen overwhelmingly supports anyone willing to sacrifice everything in order to physically stop an abortionist from killing thousands of babies.” 

The Prayer and Action News web site stated: “So far, the only way to save hundreds, arguably thousands of unborn lives now has been to destroy abortion buildings or kill abortionists.”

Regina Dinwiddie is a longtime anti-abortion militant told CNN, that Tiller’s murder was: “absolutely justify,”  and told The Associated Press that she’s glad about Dr. Tiller’s death saying: “I wouldn’t cry for him (Dr. Tiller) no more than I would if somebody dropped a rat and killed it.”

Dan Holman, a member of anti-abortion group in Iowa called “Missionaries to the Preborn,” told CNN, that Dr. Tiller’s death was something to cheer, and that he thinks abortion would justify assassinating the president, who Holman considered, “Deserving of death.”

A reign of terror has existed for over 30 years. There have been eight murder, seventeen attempted murders, forty-one bombings, and one hundred and seventy-one arsons.
