Doctor Who Provided Abortions Shot to Death at Church
31 May 2009
While I was in church this morning, Dr. George Tiller was shot and murdered inside the church he worshiped at in Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Tiller was killed because he did something legal, he provided abortions.
Tiller, 67, was one of the few U.S. physicians who still performed late-term abortions. He survived a 1993 shooting outside his Wichita clinic.
At this time it appears that someone is in custody and it’s being reported that some parishioners recognize the suspect as someone who has protested the doctor. This story is developing.
What I have never understood, is how people who hate “murder” so much, have no problem using it themselves carrying a bible in one hand and a gun in the other.
If Tiller was slain because of his work, he would be the fourth U.S. physician killed by abortion opponents since 1993. In addition, a nurse at a Birmingham, Alabama, clinic was maimed and an off-duty police officer was killed in a 1998 bombing by Eric Rudolph, who included abortion among his list of anti-government grievances.
If?

This murder has to be condemned.
But it is weird that some knuckleheads are blaming the entire pro-life community for this murder. Perhaps these are the same folks who bombed mosques after 9/11. What a shame!

The anti choicers are not pro life. They are filled with venomous, uncompromising, and deadly hate.
