FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 31, 2009 NARAL Pro-Choice Americas Statement on the Murder of Dr. George Tiller
Washington, D.C. Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, today issued the following statement on the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kan.
On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America, our prayers and thoughts are with Dr. Tillers family and friends at this moment, a moment that fills us with immeasurable shock and deep sadness.
For almost two decades, Dr. Tiller and those individuals who helped provide care to his patients have lived under intense harassment tinged with persistent threats of violence. Even under these adverse circumstances, Dr. Tiller never wavered in his commitment to providing abortion services and other reproductive health care to women and their families, often in the most difficult and heart-breaking circumstances.
Dr. Tillers murder will send a chill down the spines of the brave and courageous providers and other professionals who are part of reproductive-health centers that serve women across this country. We want them to know that they have our support as they move forward in providing these essential services in the aftermath of the shocking news from Wichita.
We understand that the investigation is ongoing and that law-enforcement officials are pursuing a suspect. If it proves to be an act of anti-abortion violence, as we suspect it is, then the full weight of the law must be used to send a clear message that these types of attacks will be prosecuted fully and swiftly.
We also call on opponents of a womans right to choose to condemn this action completely and absolutely. What happened today in Wichita cannot become the beginning of a more aggressive wave of violence targeting abortion providers and the women for whom they provide care. Women accessing their legal right to abortionand the providers who make this possibleshould never be targets of violence.

She could easily blend in at a preschool event or as an older mother of a child in school. It just goes to show that “appearances” can be deceiving. A look at her heart, would tell you what she is about. The lord already knows ... .
if murder is "care" ...
to his patients have lived under intense harassment tinged with persistent threats of violence.
While the "patients" treated by this doctor did NOT have to live under threats of violence; they never got the chance to live at all.
Even under these adverse circumstances, Dr. Tiller never wavered in his commitment to providing abortion services and other reproductive health care
... never wavered in slaughtering the unborn ...
to women and their families, often in the most difficult and heart-breaking circumstances.
Made all the more heart-breaking by the fact that a man sworn to protect health spent 20 years depriving the most helpless among us of not only health but life itself.
I'm sorry, but I have trouble mustering too much sympathy for a man who made his living killing babies. At the same time, these kinds of extremist acts reflect no credit on the right to life movement, and display a hypocrisy that is not lost on our enemies.
Even Dr. Kevorkian was more honorable than Dr. Tiller. The former's patients at least knew what they wanted and into what they were getting.
What this Tiller did for money was the killing of late term -- 2nd and 3rd trimester -- babies. Many, if not most, of these babies could live outside the womb.
What he did during his illustrious and utterly shameful career was "legalized murder."
The left can put on the all the sad pretense, candle light vigils and the like, that they want to. But my guess is that they are tickled pink that this has happened.
NARAL prays?
Fred Phelps will be there (from WBC website): WBC TO PICKET VIGIL TO SUPPORT
TILLERS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
(ENABLERS!).

"Dr. Tillers murder will send a chill down the spines of the brave and courageous providers and other professionals who are part of reproductive-health centers..."
Good.
I have strong feeling that this killing was done by someone who is affiliated with the pro abort crowd
Is it me, or did Tiller look like Selma on Big Love?
Who speaks for the millions of innocents who’ve died due to NARAL and PPH?
I hold life (including animal)in much higher regard than these indiscriminate butcher types and I am thought of by some as soft and too kindhearted for it. One of my numerous flaws and shortcomings.
how interesting that they don’t allow feedback
My crystal ball says there will be trouble brewing for Phelps if he pickets this funeral. Which is what he wants, and what the media want. Circus coming to town.
“I’m sorry, but I have trouble mustering too much sympathy for a man who made his living killing babies”
Those were my sentiments exactly when I heard the news but my daughter admonished me and said taking a life is wrong in both instances. Let us not give the other side ammunition to use against us. Pro Life means exactly that. God will deal with the baby killers.
Ha, ha haaaaaa! What if it were to turn out to be a bloody brawl between the two sides with numerous deaths?
(Not likely, but a sweet thought nonetheless. Both sides are absolutely despicable scum.)
I sure won’t mourn this baby killer,but now look what the shooter has done.He created a martyr for the abortion “rights” crowd and the anti-gun turds(I think there is cross pollination there)will be out in force to ban handguns to protect abortionists.
Courageous?What the hell is courageous about killing a fetus?Watch-Obama will try to make abortion providers the next “protected class”.
This article is full of phrases that say one thing but mean exactly the opposite. Dr. Tiller’s “patients” are not patients, they are his victims. “reproductive-health centers” are, in fact death centers. I find it hard to believe that any females are so dumb as to believe that the babies in their wombs are “just tissue” or a “blob.” Where do they think babies come from? the turnip patch? Obama is killing off millions of his own race. (And the least intelligent of all other races).
DFU SONG: All Out of Love (little Samuel holds onto his doctor)
BRINGING THIS BACK FROM 1999
Its twenty one weeks and the baby is ill
But what is the doctor to dỏ
Hes there in the womb and there isnt much hope
A miracle soon comes true
Mom says Operate because Samuel needs help
The whole thing is very well planned
The doctors surprised when his finger is grabbed
My God, it is Samuels hand
tiny hand
Theyre not tissue mass
they are not a choice, now
Come join if you will
by raising your voice now
Theyre not tissue mass
my God, they are babies
Abortion is wrong
its got to be stopped somehow
For too many years many babies like him
Are ripped from their safe mothers womb
Purveyors of death taking innocent life
Hell waits for those in that room
Theyre selfish and cruel
they are evil indeed
How many more children must diẻ
We cant turn our heads
we all have to stand up
We hear the angels cry
angels cry
Theyre not tissue mass
they are not a choice, now
Come join if you will
by raising your voice now
Theyre not tissue mass
my God, they are babies
Abortion is wrong
its got to be stopped somehow
Oh, how many more must die
can't you hear angels crỷ
How many more must die
can't you hear angels crỷ
Theyre not tissue mass
they are not a choice, now
Come join if you will
by raising your voice now
Theyre not tissue mass
my God, they are babies
Abortion is wrong
its got to be stopping
Theyre not tissue mass
they are not a choice, now
Come join if you will
by raising your voice now
Theyre not tissue mass
my God, they are babies
Abortion is wrong
its got to be stopping
Theyre not tissue mass
they are not a choice, now
Come join if you will
by raising your voice now
Theyre not tissue mass
my God, they are babies
Abortion is wrong
its got to be stopping
