My Personal Reaction to Tiller's Murder
I was finishing up a late breakfast when my husband turned on the TV, which was set on KAKE (our ABC channel here in Wichita) and called to me, "You've got to see this -- Tiller's been shot!" I was astounded! I ran downstairs to our family room and just stared at the set. We (Catholics both inside and outside of the diocese) had just recently finished a novena -- a nine day period of prayer and fasting -- for the closing of Tiller's abortion mill and I had a sense that something powerful would happen, but never in a million years did I expect anything like this. You see, I was hoping for his conversion. I believe in miracles and I expected that, with God's grace, Tiller would eventually come around, as have a number of other abortionists who have been deceived the culture of death. I went to the Internet to learn that he was not only shot, but that he had been murdered. I have to humbly admit that my first reaction was one of relief: Thank God, no more babies...
