Gah! Overload!

The workload here in the office was way heavier than usual on Monday and Tuesday, and we finally got caught up today.  It’s a relief, I have to say, considering my eyes are now so tired from perusing documents and staring at a computer screen, which is strangely what I’m doing now.

There has been some crazy scary things happening in the world of news, and the one that I keep thinking about is the shooting of Dr. George Tiller while he was in church.  Now, I am pro-life, so throw your bombs at me if you will, but here are my feelings on the situation.  First, it’s horrible that a man, no matter who he was or what he did, was gunned down.  It was a clear murder, and the man who did it will be brought to justice.

During his life, I absolutely abhorred what this man did by performing partial-birth abortions.  I actually had a friend who had an abortion performed by him, and her story about it is chilling, to say the least.  I can’t imagine what she went through, being so young at the time.  She even at one time worked for Tiller by organizing fundraisers and such.  At a turning point in her life, she finally realized that Tiller was doing this for money and power and didn’t care one bit about the women he was supposedly helping.  She left and changed her life.  Read her powerful story here.

In my opinion, George Tiller was a man who lusted after money and political power through his clinic.  I often wonder how his church felt about his work, but then after some research, it seemed that they enjoyed his deep pocketbook, as did many political organizations, including Kansas’ governor.  Still, this is just my opinion and it’s up to God to judge Tiller.

Most of the women that I know who have had abortions regret them or suffer from severe emotional damage.  I don’t know how you can go through an experience like that and not have it haunt you the rest of your life.  I even know fathers of aborted children who have emotional problems and are dealing with the decision that was made in the past.  I pray for those people and hope they can find healing.

I could go on about this, but I also love it when I find feminist information against abortion.  I love it when strong women view abortion as a way for men and doctors to exert control over them through pressure.  Even early feminist created laws to protect women and children.  This is a site that has great information.  Read up!
