John Smeaton, national director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, who has condemned the killing of Dr Tiller, said: "I think it is more to do with the levels of gun crime in the US.
"Guns are more readily available so by the law of averages people providing abortions are going to be caught up.
"What is important to remember is that these acts of violence are not carried out by organisations but by lone individuals.
"I know many of the leaders of these organisations in the US and I know they share the same values as we do in the UK.
"Killings go against everything we stand for - the right to life."
It is true that SPUC is less militant than many groups in the US appear to be. (I've attended their meetings, and my mother gets their newsletter.) However, I do not think pinning Dr Tillers murder on mathematics (the law of averages? Come on.) is very fair. I think Mr Smeaton shoulod grow up and own his stupid ideology, actually.
