Dan Monnat and Lee Thompson, Dr. George Tiller's attorneys, issued the following statement today at the request of Mrs. Jeanne Tiller, the Tiller's four children and ten grandchildren:
"Today we mourn the loss of our husband, father and grandfather. Today's event is an unspeakable tragedy for all of us and for George's friends and patients. This is particularly heart wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace.
We would like to express the family's thanks for the many messages of sympathy from our friends and from all across the nation. We also want to thank the law enforcement officers who are investigating this crime.
Our loss is also a loss for the City of Wichita and women across America. George dedicated his life to providing women with high-quality heath care despite frequent threats and violence. We ask that he be remembered as a good husband, father and grandfather and a dedicated servant on behalf of the rights of women everywhere."

It’s an apostate church.
“Who are they worshiping?”
The devil!
He’s pro-life now? Wait, he’s dead and with his earthly master - maybe eternal Hell lets him do pbas as well, just a thought.
I will pray his family will get through this and get G_d.
What has been learned about his killer so far?
I sure hope he turns out to be a pro-life Liberal or killed him for reasons other than being an abortion Dr.
The ALPB's own Paul Sauer published this a while back as part of a longer article about why he is Lutheran. The relvant paragrpah is below.
Being in the midst of the day-to-day battle over abortion led to a crisis of faith that went far deeper than the parlor games of Valparaiso. For the first time in my life the “authority question” came up. It happened on a warm spring day in Kansas. CALL had organized a regional weekend of activism which drew hundreds of college students to the campus of Wichita State. In addition to picketing abortion clinics, hosting speakers, and doing literature distribution on campus, some members of CALL wanted to picket a Lutheran church where the notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller was a member. In a compromise, I volunteered to meet with the pastor to express my concern and get his side of the story. The moral ambiguity espoused by the pastor remains to this day one of the most disturbing, indelible images of my time with CALL. I learned that, not only was George Tiller a member, but he even occasionally assisted with communion. “How could I,” the pastor asked, “question the faith of this man who thought that he was helping women?” Out of this conversation, I discovered what I saw as the great weakness of Lutheranism—where is the authority? If anyone can interpret Scripture, does that mean he can also come to any conclusion he wants?
The final sentence deserves repeating and much pondering:
If anyone can interpret Scripture, does that mean he can also come to any conclusion he wants?
I just hope they saved a nice WARM place for him in his new home.
AP Names Suspect in Tiller Shooting
The Associated Press says the man detained in the Kansas City area is 51-year-old Scott Roeder of Merriam, Kansas, according to Law Enforcement authorities in the area.
Roeder has not been formally charged with the killing at this time.
The suspect is still in Johnson County. Sedgwick County sent deputies up to talk with him before bringing him back to Wichita. He's expected back in town later tonight.
As opposed to being ripped apart in your mother's womb.
Tiller shouldn't have been murdered. 1 - murder is sin. 2 - it doesn't help our cause. BUT that doesn't make Tiller any less a cold-blooded maniac who will now meet his master. At final judgment he will meet his Maker. His knee will bow one day. Then the punishment begins...
As will I.
George was such a nice guy providing these abortions for these women, and I am sure he did it for free Right??
Liberals have some strange heros...Mao, Che, Fidel, abortionists, Sager, cop killers, soldiers who murder their officers, jihadists, Hamas, violent animal rights kooks, violent environmentalist kooks... As they smear all prolifers with the crime of this man; they are doing the same to themselves - ten times over!
However, the State of Kansas will be performing and execution!
I guess he didn't take his work home with him anyway.
So it would have been less heart wrenching if he had been shot at his place of work, a place of the most foulest violence?
Maybe God took a look down and said “Get the hell out of my house.”
LOL. I needed that with this kind of news. Thanks.
(yawn)
He must have been very greedy to keep on doing this. I wouldn't want to be where he is right now.
How could he continue aborting babies when he had grandchildren of his own? Sick...
Well he's met his Maker, he can state his "I was only trying to help desperate women" excuses to the Almighty now.
