Delaware Right to Life Condemns Murder of George Tiller

Wilmington, Delaware- May 31, 2009 – Delaware Right to Life, the state’s largest pro-life organization, condemned Sunday’s murder of late-term abortionist, George Tiller. The following statement may be attributed to Delaware Right to Life President Nicole Collins:

We at Delaware Right to Life are shocked and saddened by the murder of George Tiller. We condemn this act, as we condemn all life taken by others. Killing in the name of “life” is a grave contradiction that is rejected by our organization and the pro-life movement as a whole.

Delaware Right to Life works to bring about its desired ends through peaceful means and believe that violence should never be used as a solution to any problem. Just as we prayed for Mr. Tiller’s conversion before he died, we will continue to pray for Mr. Tiller’s family that they may find the peace of Christ in this difficult time.

Delaware Right to Life’s work revolves around protecting life and helping women in need through peaceful measures. We strive to educate Delawareans about life issues while nurturing a safe environment for the citizens of our state. Though the motive for the act against Mr. Tiller is still unknown, we do not and never will condone the murder of another human being, born or unborn, for any reason.
