FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 31, 2009 NARAL Pro-Choice America’s 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. Tiller’s 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. Tiller’s 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 woman’s 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 abortion—and the providers who make this possible—should never be targets of violence.”

“On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America, our prayers and thoughts are with Dr. Tiller’s family...”
They pray? To whom?
Dr Kevorkian type care that is.
Moloch
She looks like a sweet grandmother. For how many deaths is this woman responsible?
They have a major martyr now, and will play it for everything they can.
A thought just came to me, I wonder if that group that pickets funerals will be at this one? If they do, fireworks and mob scene. At least not a slow news day.
Where’s Lon Horiuchi? This is altogether too convenient and useful for the left.
Why would this be prosecuted any differently than a crime of murder? Murder is murder, no matter what the reason behind it....
The baby above is 8 weeks - doesn’t look like tissue to me.
eeeeeeeeeeee geds she is awful looking
this is a bad sunday indeed,
this event is soooooooooo being manipulated
“domestic terrorism”.............political manipulation by a hateful administration with Kathy Sebelius right up there with em, I just bet, so transparent ..........
The liberals don’t think that an unborn baby is really a baby. They don’t think it is a human being in the first place.
I can hardly wait (sarcasm) to see how the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, etc. handle this story. If it turns out that the killer is an anti-abortio activist of some kind, they will drive home the point that anyone against abortion must be a part of the lunatic fringe, and is in favor of killing abortion doctors. Count on it.
Satan loves it when we intentionally murder the innocent - especially babies. They are the most helpless next to the in firmed.
NARAL has killed more than Tiller’s killer.
But not the killing of tiny helpless humans. That's all I'm saying.
Isn't that special.
Have you ever noticed that these pro-abortion types are ones you wouldn’t want to do in the first place?
lol
