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.
According to the story, the shots were fired from the church lobby as the service was going. Was he sitting in the pew, during a service? Thats going to be extra nice for the cause, huh?
Thats almost as smart as a segregationist dynamiting little African-American girls in sunday school!

Take a look at how Daily Kos is covering reactions of FR.
I would worry about what those boneheads are saying as I would worry about what a monkey was thinking watching a chess match.
(Hi, Kostards!)
When the facts get out...that this guy was a late-term abortion provider...I think the public will tune it out because the public over-whelmingly finds the practice repulsive..
There are all kinds of bad news headlines hitting during this recession and vying for dominance...I don't think this story will have the legs some think it will.
Thats fun to say. Except the reality is, that their evaluation of us will be on all networks tomorrow as though it was fact. Nobody will report what most really said. The news will report “FreeRepublic appears to support the murder”. Wars like this are won in hearts and minds, not by bullets.
Sarah and her positive example did a million times more good for the cause than this sick murderer did.
One problem with your attitude.Hussein & Friends *listen* to those Chaos Kids because they vote in primaries and they give $$$.
Serious $$$.
Aside from a death sentence, the jury decides guilt and the judge imposes the sentence.
How does it differ from what they said about us yesterday?
I could go for involuntary manslaughter. That’s good for about 2-5 years, which I think is fair.
First: I agree; it’s starting.........
Second: I’ll rephrase Titus Livy’s “Yes we must obey our laws, until we can no longer live with the result of not obeying them.” as follows:
Yes, we must obey our laws, until we can no longer live with the result of obeying the newly made laws by the usurping left.
As for the subject of this thread, I see no reason to take sides. A murderer murdered a murderer. No more, no less.
Leni, we belonged to an LCA Lutheran for 12 years before it merged to the ELCA...(our dear Wheaton graduate pastor retired)
..we left, and joined a Reformed Presbyterian (PCA)...
You are exactly right.
But, as long as you brought it up, there was a guy in the old Testament (King Saul) who got taken to the wood shed by God for NOT wiping out EVERYONE (Amalekites) when instructed to do so!
If it turns out the motive of the killer was because of Tiller's actions as an abortionist, I'll keep my opinion to myself because I don't know who might be reading it.
Almost forgot, thanks for the ping!
I didnt know Jesus was in the old testament?
And it’s not a fact that Rudolph slowed abortion. He creeped out sane people everywhere. Abortion has slowed for other reasons, but he ain’t it. Women like Sarah are much more of the reason.
You make the mistake of assuming correlation is the same thing as causality. IE,, If i prove to you that everytime you pass gas, someone in china has a heart attack, i haven’t “proven” that your flatulence is causing chinese heart failure.
Rudolphs terrorist attacks had nothing to do with reduced numbers of abortions.
Gotta link?
So God ordered Saul to murder the women and BABIES because,,,, they were Philistine babies??? He kept the men alive and thats what made God angry?? No baby is guilty of anything. You believe God ordered him to do this? Interesting.
I'm not surprised.
Dude,,, he ISNT.
“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”
OK, that what he was supposedly told. So does this justify killing babies sometimes? You need to be very careful playing around in the old testament. Jesus came precisely to end that Jewish Law crappola. You seem to argue that because God supposedly wanted women and babies murdered by Saul, that this nut in Kansas has a precedent for murder today?
