Kansas doctor George Tiller killed today!
WICHITA, Kansas - Media reports say that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church. Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortion. His clinic has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades. He was acquitted in March of misdemeanor charges stemming from procedures he performed, but moments after the verdict the state’s medical board announced it was investigating allegations against him that are nearly identical to those the jury had rejected.

You can't work for years to polarize an issue and remove yourselves from blame for an outcome like this. I feel a great deal of pity for you, a group proposes to protect life but creates such social divisiveness--the kind that implicitly encourages the "righteous" to such violence. May God have mercy on you.
Why should people who claim to be "christians" be happy about the murder of someone who is doing something that is NOT illegal? I agree that there is a moral issue among people, but it currently, there is nothing illegal about what Dr. Tiller has done.
thank you Patrick D. Well said.
You seem to imply that silence would have been better in order to avoid "social divisiveness." May God have mercy on your soul, sir.
