Some Christian leaders worry
Tiller's murder will be used to stifle
pro-life activism.
They point to Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.'s order on Monday to increase security for some abortion clinics and doctors as a sign that government leaders may view the killing as more than an isolated incident by a lone extremist.
Pro-life advocates say Tiller's murder also may result in legislative moves to deter anti-abortion activism, including renewed attempts to pass the Freedom of Choice Act, which would remove federal restrictions on abortion.
"The Obama administration will use this [murder] as a means to try to punish the pro-life movement," said Mathew D. Staver, founder of the pro-life legal firm Liberty Counsel. "We will diligently and aggressively resist the administration's attempt to use this or any other matter that does not represent the pro-life movement to trample on the constitutional rights of pro-lifers."
Staver was among several pro-life leaders to condemn the murder of the late-term abortion doctor, who was shot and killed Sunday while serving as an usher at his church, Reformed Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kan.
"We categorically condemn the act of vigilantism and violence that took his life," said Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. "Our condolences are extended to the Tiller family. The person or persons responsible for his death should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry was less conciliatory, calling Tiller a "mass murderer" in a statement released Monday.

 A Texas Christian businessman has a simple plan for evangelizing his community: Lift Jesus up and let Him do the rest.
In December, Norm Miller, CEO of Interstate Batteries, launched I Am Second, a three-year Dallas-area ad campaign that features both prominent and lesser-known Christians proclaiming that Christ is first in their lives. Its companion Web site features video testimonies from Christians ranging from actor Stephen Baldwin to former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch to virtually unknown Dallas-area residents telling of how God changed their lives after they battled eating disorders, divorce, addiction or abuse.
In its first two months, the campaign generated 280 million impressions from billboards, print ads and TV commercials reaching the Dallas-Forth Worth community. Since it launched in December, IamSecond.com has logged 750,000 unique visitors from every state and 188 nations.

 A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to interview American Idol season five finalist Mandisa Hundley (more commonly referred to as just “Mandisa”). I asked her about the ironic nature of someone such as herself, a staunchly devout Evangelical Christian, on a show that celebrates the concept of world-driven stardom.
The irony wasn’t lost on the national recording artist. She fully understands how strange it must seem for so many Christians to be popping up all over the smash hit television show American Idol. After all, doesn’t one of those Ten Commandments expressly warn against the creation of idols?
But for the outspoken woman of faith, it all made sense once she realized just how powerful the show’s reach really was.
