Quote of the Day: Self-appointed George Tiller replacement

Dr. LeRoy Carhart, friend of the late abortionist George Tiller, on why he wants to take over Tiller's late-term abortion practice:

"I have abortion on the front of this building, because I think abortion isn't a four-letter word. It's a part of life."

Further cognitive dissonance:

[Carhart] who once wanted to be a preacher, stopped going to church around 1989, for his own safety. He found a different calling.

Tomorrow, just before and after performing abortions, Carhart will pray at the bedside of his patients. (CNN)

I can't help but think of Isaiah 5:20-21 - "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who change darkness into light, and light into darkness ... Woe to those who are wise in their own sight, and prudent in their own esteem!"

At least, I hope it's self-deception at work:

Carhart doesn't mask his language. He's open and honest about what he does, sometimes uncomfortably so.

"We do kill fetuses," he says. "It dies because we give an injection into the fetus that causes the heart to just slowdown."

That's like saying, "Yes, I killed him, I held his head under water until his breathing just slowed down."

There's another name for that: murder.
