Dr. Tiller's Roommate in Heaven

Forgive the slight snarkiness of the headline, but I like to think that God is not without a sense of irony.

Today, several months after late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was gunned down inside his church, an anti-choice activist in Owosso, Michigan was gunned down while protesting in front of a local high school, carrying a sign with a photo of an aborted fetus on it.

The gunman then drove to a local business and killed the owner before police caught up with him. He has been charged with first degree murder and is being held without bail.

Neither of these killings is justified, of course. Both Tiller and James Pouillon, 61, were doing something they believed was just and right. I believe that if there's a heaven, both of them are there, getting acquainted and celebrating.
