George Tiller shot to death at church; police search for suspect | News Updates | Wichita Eagle

WICHITA - George Tiller, the Wichita doctor who became a national lightning rod in the debate over abortion, was shot to death this morning inside the lobby of his Wichita church.

Tiller, 67, was shot just after 10 a.m. at Reformation Lutheran Church at 7601 E. 13th, where he was a member of the congregation. Witnesses and a police source confirmed Tiller was the victim.

This is absurd; have you guys seen what these anti abortion terrorists have done to this guy for years? In 1993 he was shot twice by anti abortion terrorists.

Protesters blockaded Tiller's clinic during Operation Rescue's "Summer of Mercy" protests during the summer of 1991, and Tiller was shot by Rachelle Shannon at his clinic in 1993. Tiller was wounded in both arms, and Shannon remains in prison for the shooting.

The clinic was bombed in June 1986, and was severely vandalized earlier this month. According to the Associated Press, his lawyer said wires to security cameras and outdoor lights were cut and that the vandals also cut through the roof and plugged the buildings' downspouts. Rain poured through the roof and caused thousands of dollars of damage in the clinic. Tiller reportedly asked the FBI to investigate the incident.

No arrests were made in the 1986 bombing.

Brave man to continue to do what he did for all these years despite the previous attempts on his life.

In before Neo.

And people wonder why I dont respect the religious right.

When you value the life of cells over the lives of fully grown humans, holding women to the status of incubators and reducing doctors to the status of murder, you deserve no respect from me.

You do know he specialized in late-term abortions, which is about 5 months pregnant?

So people should be allowed to abort pregnancies this far into development?

I'm not justifying his murder, which is an outrage (and just goes to further show how hypocritical a lot of religious folk are), but it's not like he was doing something good.

I fucking hate you kuya.

but yeah

Murder the doctors that perform them.



As much as I hate the idea of partial birth abortion this is just outrageous. But it doesn't surprise me you get retards that take this to the next level when you have preachers and pastors spewing nonsense from the pulpit.

Your post seems rather contradictory. You say that "Oh, what he did didn't justify his murder" and then you "see this is what he did... but that didn't justify his murder!".

so what your saying is bascially "I'm not defending the gunmen but hey at least he was a bad guy"?


and I getting that right?

[Rhinox]

Get out of my head kuya.

[Kuya]

lol

[kuronosan]

No, what I'm saying is acting like he was a brave man for committing acts of murder is laughable. I'd say the same thing if Fred Phelps were shot dead. It's a tragedy and a disgusting act to commit no matter how you slice it, but it isn't like he didn't do anything to deserve it.

Geez, I don't know how else to put it.

I condone neither the gunman (who is an idiot for killing him) nor the doctor (who is also an idiot for doing as he did).

[Headspace]

Okay, so who violated a zoning issue here?

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

The innocent Christians are being persecuted again. This is BS. The BG atheists will unite to condemn this only because it was a Christian, not because it was wrong.












Did I do it right?

[kuronosan]

No, gtfo.

[Kuya]

but it isn't like he didn't do anything to deserve it.

Oh, so that's what i thought you meant. He deserved it, thanks for being more clear.

[Kuya]

By the way, anyone who wants to make this into a religion-bash-athon, might want to take notice that the doctor was religious too. Just to let the air out of your balloons early.

[EternityEnd]

So he deserved to be murdered by religious fanatics for performing abortions? He wasn't the one that wanted or urged the mothers to get abortions, he merely performed them.

[Demosthenes11]

I think he is more of saying "let's not hold this guy up on a pedestal for abortion rights because that's not really correct to say"

I think it's pretty unfair to look at this and say lolreligion too. Obviously there is a degree of lol here due to the nature of the crime, but people get shot every day - in most cases over way more stupid things - and it's not lolblackpeople or lolgangs. People take shit too far no matter if religion is there or not. But now this will turn into a religion argument that I'm not going to take part in, so please don't turn it that way -.-

but ya, fuck people that sit in the pews every sunday and then turn around and commit murder...

[Rhinox]

Okay, so who violated a zoning issue here?

Obviously the gunmen who didn't have the permit to discharge a gun in the mans body.




But seriously how the fuck is this not terrorism? Will Pat Robertson and the religious nutbags on the right denounce this as they have Extremist islamic terrorism? Or will they essentially keep mum and praise Jesus like the Islamo-terrorist praise allah everytime theres a bombing?

[kuronosan]

Oh, so that's what i thought you meant. He deserved it, thanks for being more clear.

Ay dios mio, que pendejo estas...

No. Allow me to clarify what you're telling me. If we killed, I dunno, say Osama Bin Laden, you wouldn't lament that as him getting his come-uppance? When we hung Saddam, did he not get what he deserved? When bad people do bad things and bad things happen to them, it's no different than dying by the sword.

I don't consider it a matter of him getting what he deserved. I am simply saying that I don't feel terrible because of what he stood for. For someone to murder him in cold blood is absolutely outrageous and is not the answer. I am not, however, going to say that it is a terrible tragedy and that the doc should be mourned as a pioneer. He terminated late-stage pregnancies. There is nothing to be admired there.
