Wave of the Future?

ANYONE who wonders whether America still has any sense of moral seriousness should download the website of abortionist George Tiller, accessible at http://www.gynpages.com/whcs/index.html. After browsing through photos of his “operating suite,” you can read Tiller’s bland acknowledgment that he kills babies at 37 weeks’ gestational age. For the arithmetically challenged, that’s the ninth month of pregnancy. “Baby,” by the way, is Tiller’s term; he will even refer to his victim as a “child.” More alarming than his abandonment of pretense that fetuses are not human is its failure to provoke discernible public outrage.

Tiller is by no means the only abortionist killing near-full-term babies, and there are plenty of other abortionists on the Net. But none of his colleagues showcase their handiwork with such self-promotional audacity. Tiller is either completely contemptuous of public opinion or convinced that the public is beyond caring. Either way, his global ads seem to be reaching their target audience; German and Japanese television teams recently visited his home base, Wichita, in search of interviews concerning the European and Asian women who are making the long journey to engage his grisly services.
