Title: KANSAS ABORTION DOCTOR MURDERED AT CHURCH

WICHITA, Kansas (AP)- 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.

Prosecutors had alleged that Tiller had in 2003 gotten second opinions from a doctor who was essentially an employee of his, not independent as state law requires, but a jury took only about an hour to find him not guilty of all 19 counts.

Tiller, who could have faced a year in jail for even one conviction, stared straight ahead as the verdicts were read, with one of his attorneys patting his shoulder after the decision on the final count was declared. His wife, seated across the courtroom, fought back tears and nodded. The couple declined to speak to reporters afterward.

Tiller, 67, has claimed that the prosecution was politically motivated. An attorney general who opposed abortion rights began the investigation into Tiller's clinic more than four years ago, but both his successor, who filed the criminal charges, and the current attorney general support abortion rights.

Tiller has been a favored target of anti-abortion protesters, and he testified that he and his family have suffered years of harassment and threats. His clinic was the site of the 1991 "Summer of Mercy" protests marked by mass demonstrations and arrests. His clinic was bombed in 1985, and an abortion opponent shot him in both arms in 1993.

Because of you and assholes like you millions of babies have been murdered. Your pahtetic. Anyone who was going to vote for Hate crime legislation was already going to do so. If we had 10000 more Roeders instead of limp dick cowards like you the congress would be afraid to pass hate crime legislation and afraid to not outright ban abortion. You are a glass is half empty pessimist eternal whiner. Apparently you are not what the good side needs to win this battle.

wow a non believer calling me a heretic. I'm shocked I tell you shocked.

So according to your apparently dead brain. Killing babies is A ok. That being Pro choice is an honorable position. But someone kills the killer and it is an outrage. Get a grip on reality Rob. Tiller was a cold blooded killer and he got just what he deserved. Long overdue but finally that murderer is dead.

You on the other hand being the coward that you are condemn people who are against baby killing. I never heaard your outrage at baby murdering.

So the fair and honest conclusion is that you would prefer Tiller the killer to an innocent baby.

You would have shouted give unto us barabas.

what part of "thou shall not kill"

didn't people like Tiller get? Was it too complex for him to understand that you are not to murder the innocent and helpless?

Hey asshole. I don't use a scofield Bible. That is your carbon copy response anytime you get your panties in a wad. Then you lie and say I support killing babies. You are so full of shit what a liar you be. I said I support Israels right to defend itself. The palis kill their own babies but your head is up your asshole pretty deep on that one. Now you don't get to dictate what Pro life means. You got that you little athiest twat.

What part of God shall not be mocked and you shall reap what you sow don't you get. Oh thats right nevermind. Your head is so far up your asshole that you don't know shit from chocolate.
