WICHITA, Kan. -- Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas man who became one of the most famous figures in the national debate over abortion, was shot and killed at his church Sunday morning, KAKE-TV reported.
Tiller was walking into Reformation Lutheran Church at 10:03 a.m., when he was shot.
Tiller was pronounced dead when emergency crews arrived, the station reported.
Police were looking for a blue Ford Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. Police described him as a white male in his 50's or 60's, 6'1," 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
Tiller has committed outrage after outrage and not only gotten away with it, he has made a fortune! Sooner or later this had to happen.
Thou Shalt Not Murder. Both the shooter and the victim will be judged.

You are entitled to your opinion.
What goes around comes around...
Police have a suspect description. The suspect is described as a white male in his 50’s or 60’s with grey hair that is balding in the middle. He is about 6’1” and about 220 pounds and was wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
The suspect was last seen in a light blue Ford Taurus, possibly an early 1990’s model. It has a K-State vanity plate and a Kansas license plate number 225 BAB.
Tiller was the victim of violence before. On June 9, 1986 someone detonated a homemade bomb on the roof of his Wichita clinic. No one was hurt
During the Summer of Mercy in 1991, protesters blocked the entrance to his facility before a federal judge ruled the protesters be arrested.
Two years later, Dr. Tiller was shot outside his clinic the evening of August 19, 1993. His wounds were not life threatening. Abortion opponent Shelly Shannon was convicted of that shooting and sentenced to prison.
One less nazi as far as I am concerned.
Let’s not assume this has anything to do with abortion. Until I hear differently, I’m going with a gay lovers’ spat.
Hope the guy gets away.
What is sad is that abortion is the law of the land. If you want one you can have one. Over 40 million lives have been destroyed since Roe vs. Wade .....
The second thought that went through my mind on 9/11/01 was: "What kind of laws will they pass now."
When I first read this, part of me wondered if some liberal isn’t secretly behind this to get just the outcome you have listed. I used to not be so paranoid, until this surreal reality replaced what used to be. Interesting the timing of this, as it was recently released that according to polls a majority of Americans are anti-abortion/pro-life. Good way to discredit the movement and those beliefs - assassinate an abortionist.
I doubt he does, but a jury could be lenient.
I'm not weeping for the scumbag himself.I haven't the fainest doubt that he is,at this very moment,rotting in the very special place in hell that he so richly earned.
What I'm saying is that this will hurt the anti-abortion *cause*...and hurt it badly.
If you doubt me...just watch.
This will just be used to “justify” more gun control.
Pro-lifers should condemn this as antithetical to their philosophy and beliefs. Hopefully, the perpetrator will be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I will shed no tears that Teller is gone — but MURDER is MURDER.
Now, here’s the “reality check” — ALL of us who “cling to God and guns” are about to be villified and lumped into the same category as this murderer, this killer, this “terrorist.” COUNT ON IT. The Obama Regime has JUST gotten ALL the help they need to confirm Sotomayor, and to begin the process of dismantling the 2nd Amendment and “taking” our guns, as well as restricting the “free speech” of Christians, Conservatives, and critics of all things Washington.
Couldn’t you at least try to do a search? If so, you would have seen this posted just 9 threads down.
“This serial-killer piece of excrement will be held up by every...”
...gun-control nut in America as proof that dangerous people (like foes of baby-killing) should not be allowed to keep and bear arms.
Obama is going to take advantage of this murder to sieze even more control over our society.
I would not even put it past them to commit this murder themselves, as an excuse to sieze power. Reichstag Fire, and all that...
