I probably don't have to mention that late-term abortions are almost never a woman's first choice; they happen because of medical necessity. This man has not only murdered Dr. Tiller, but he has attacked the lives of women who need his services.

Dr. George Tiller was shot dead as he was walking into his Sunday morning church services.There is no suspect in custody, although the Wichita police have a basic description of the man and (hopefully) his license plate number.
Dr. Tiller was one of the few late-term abortion providers in the country. He had previously been shot, his clinic burnt down, harassed by ideological anti-abortion attorney generals, and threatened with death countless times.
