The recent murder of abortion doctor Tiller in Kansas is a sad affair. No matter what your opinion on the subject of abortion and, specific to Dr. Tiller, late-term abortion, this murder should be considered a terrible act without any reasonable justification. I'm sure that the murderer didn't reflect on the longer term consequences of his actions. Those will left to the rest of us to address.
I expect that this event will become the rallying cry for those in the pro-abortion camp. This will become the poster child for changing the discussion on the allowability/desireability of any kind of debate on the topic of abortion. Soon all those who choose to protest abortion will be a priori judged to be capable of murder (forgetting for a moment that we are all so capable). It won't stop there, though. Abortion protesters will become pre-disposed toward murder. In fact, any protest will be seen as simply a precursor to the act of murder. Hence, all abortion protests will be outlawed. There will be vigorous application of this prohibition to all venues. You won't even be able to write a letter to the Editor of your local newspaper without coming under serious persecution/prosecution.
You may think that my prediction is too overdone. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
