Rachel Maddow runs down the list of the people or groups that are praising the death of Dr. George Tiller and lauding his murderer Scott Roeder, as a hero. Among them:
Are babies today in Kansas safer today than they ere yesterday while George Tiller was alive and still taking in oxygen. Yeah, 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 that if the system will not deal with an evil, then to Hell with the system.
Leach said when human law conflicts with God’s Laws, “we ought to obey God rather than man.”
He will not “advocate” that anyone go out and kill someone who performs abortions, but his “mind remains open on the question.”
“So while I am waiting for more dialogue, I must say that 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,” he said.
Leach is no stranger to controversy. In the mid-90s, Leach’s association with the accused killer of a Florida abortion doctor helped persuade U.S. marshals to guard the Planned Parenthood clinic in Des Moines.
The Prayer and Action Network:
The only way to save hundreds, arguably thousands of unborn lives, not, has been to destroy abortion buildings or kill abortinists.
I wouldn't cry for him no more than I would if somebody dropped a rat and killed it.
Dan Holman: I was cheered by it because I knew that he wouldn't be killing any more babies. And I expect that would happen when all legal and moral -- legal ways of trying to stop it has been exhausted, as they have tried to prosecute him for giving abortions to people in violation of Kansas law.

Dan Holman: I believe that all abortionists are deserving of death, and they are not the only ones. There are politicians and judges and others who support this murder that are also deserving of death.
Drew Griffin: Would you care to name names, Dan?
Dan Holman: George Bush, Barack Obama. Any politician that gives our tax money to Planned Parenthood and organizations that kill babies are participating in the killing of innocent children deserve the same penalty.
Rachel notes that when Dr. David Gunn was shot dead in 1993 at least three of the people who publically supported Dr. Gunn's killing went on themselves to do time for anti-abortion, violent terrorism, including two murders. She asks if we're looking at the same pattern now.
