The View From Kansas

Since the murder of Kansas abortionist George Tiller this past Sunday, most of us in the Catholic blogosphere have been dancing around the issue, in the hopes that the mainstream press will not bully yet another one of us into intimidation. Stephen Heiner of Overland Park, Kansas, is unfazed by this prospect, which contributed to his having written the best piece on the subject. Anywhere.

He was caught, without foreknowledge, without the opportunity to say goodbye to anyone, in the one place where he thought he would be safe. In a sense, he died in the way that he murdered children – who were caught, without foreknowledge, without the opportunity to say goodbye to anyone, in the one place where it thought it might be safe – its mother’s womb... I may not endorse this vigilante’s behavior [emphasis added], but I will accept the benefits of the result. Fewer children will die because of his death.

Yes, even better than mine.
