The NYT update on George Tiller, a murdered Wichita Kansas abortion doctor, had noted statements from a Des Moines anti-abortion activist, Dave Leach. Leach is a "pro-life" activist in the Des Moines area that extends his views in a homemade newsletter titled Prayer and Action News. A quarterly issued newsletter with the claimed purpose "is to provide communication between neighbors who are helping each other correct the injustices that oppress them, that they may become a powerful, unstoppable Partnership Machine."
Uhhh... what?
In commenting on the death of Tiller, Leach has thus stated; "To call [Tiller's murder] a crime is too simplistic. There is Christian scripture that would support this." There was no indication as to what specific scripture would indeed support this insane remark.
I've flummoxed as to how individuals can hash out such insidious beliefs. It's scary as to how literal orthadox individuals use scripture to lead their actions and behaviors. Moreover, being based in Des Moines, i'd hate to acknowledge any influence he may have in my own community.
