May 31, 200917 yr Fox News is reporting that the infamous late-term abortion provider, George Tiller, has been murdered. Reactions should be varied.
May 31, 200917 yr George Tiller, a Wichita doctor who was one of the few doctors in the nation to perform late-term abortions, was shot to death on Sunday as he attended church, city officials in Wichita said. Dr. Tiller, who had performed abortions since the 1970s, had long been a lightning rod for controversy over the issue of abortion, particularly in Kansas, where abortion opponents regularly protested outside his clinic and sometimes his home and church. In 1993, he was shot in both arms by an abortion opponent but recovered. Abortion Doctor Shot to Death in Church
May 31, 200917 yr The killer should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I don't care what the doctor did there is no justification for murdering him.

June 1, 200917 yr I am against this: the murder of abortion doctors. However, my views stem from my religious beliefs: "Thou shalt not murder". And I am hesitant to push my religious views on others. So in this case, I would have to say that I am guardedly "pro-choice"...

June 1, 200917 yr Author Why? This was the killling of a man who performed thousands of abortions, many late term, during the last 35 years. He, among prolifers, was considered to be a mass murderer little different from other mass murderers in our history. And you ask why the reaction to his death will be varied?

June 1, 200917 yr I agree with your thoughts. It don't matter what side of the debate you're on, murder is murder... Which is exactly why many pro life folks take the stance that they do. I pray for his family, however I can't say that I'm sad to see his practice will no longer be available.

He, among prolifers, was considered to be a mass murderer little different from other mass murderers in our history. And you ask why the reaction to his death will be varied? I ask because he was murdered. While you and I might not like his actions as a doctor as far as I know they were legal according to the law of the land. Therefore, he didn't deserve to be murdered, thus, the reaction should be the same as any other law-abiding citizen who we disagree with. You OK with this murder? Can you rationalize it?

I'm not taking your bait, Clyde. I am merely stating that the reaction to his killing will be varied. Interpret it to suit your needs. However, I must be honest and admit that my tears are for the thousands of aborted babies and not for the perpetrator. I think that is a reasonable reaction from one who believes first in the sanctity of the life of the innocents.

However, I must be honest and admit that my tears are for the thousands of aborted babies and not for the perpetrator. I think that is a reasonable reaction from one who believes first in the sanctity of the life of the innocents. No bait. Its quite simple. A man who many of us disagree with was killed. If you can rationalize that in your head, have at it. I'll shed tears for all - not just the ones I agree with.
June 1, 200917 yr Author Fair enough, Clyde. Do as you feel moved to do. Indeed, we should all react as we feel is proper under the circumstances.
June 1, 200917 yr How ironic that a murderer of thousands is murdered. We reap what we sow huh ? I don't agree with what happened and the person/persons responsible should be held accountable ..... but it is ironic to say the least.
