US president Barack Obama has said he is shocked and outraged at the murder of a top doctor who performed late-term abortions.
Dr George Tiller, the object of decades of protests and attacks, was shot dead in front of his wife in a Kansas church where he was serving as an usher.
A 51-year-old man was arrested 170 miles away in Kansas City three hours after the shooting on Sunday.
Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the suspect as Scott Roeder.

I frankly don’t care what people that want to kill babies within three months of birth think about me. They call us radicals, murderers? You have to be kidding.
Let them try. We will then proceed to call them pro-baby killers wanting to kill babies just before birth.
There is no justification for murdering an infant - none whatsoever no matter if a president or a mother.
Just one of those coincidences, no?
By Tiller’s own admission, he is responsible for the murders of over 60,000 unborn children, children who died by his hand, whose blood was upon him.
60,000 murders puts Tiller into the ‘genocidal’ category, and Comrade 0bama is ‘outraged’ that he was killed?
How ‘outraged’ was 0bama at the mass murder of over 60,000 little unborn children?
I contend, “not at all”, in fact I suspect that contemplating those kinds of numbers, our illustrious Usurper in the White House is positively engorged with delight.
Why isn’t he outraged over late-term abortion or even infanticide? Is the right of women to kill their unborn children so sacred to him that he is outraged only when a notorious and repugnant abortionist is killed?
Not as far fetched a some might imagine.
I am glad Tiller is dead. I don't apologize for that. There is so much blood on this man's hands, that no excuse is possible. I would rather he had died with like, a lightening bolt from on high or something--murdering him is wrong.
That a church would allow him to come and not ever confront him on his sin of killing innocent babies is another whole issue.
But, it is clear that Christians, pro-life people, and religious people are in Obama's crosshairs.
We will be the old way thinkers, resistant to hope and change. We will be targeted for resisting the progressive way that threatens to destroy our country.
And like Hitler had his Reichstag fire, this type of incident, not necessarily this incident, could be planned to light a fire against Zero's opposition.
The days ahead will require each of us to take a stand on what we truly believe.
Exactly right. We need to turn it on them.
Alas, to see
Alas, to see
Alas, to see
The faces, the faces... the faces
They look toward me from the father’s throne
It is mine they’ve yearned to see... asking
Why me
Why me
Why me
Oh so in other words abortion doctor’s are in far more danger when a democrat is in the whitehouse! Really 5 shootings during the Clinton years and another now with Obama?
Is self defense a sin?
If not, then protecting someone else from being killed, someone who cannot defend themselves, is that a sin?
I am not so sure. We call people who stop killers from killing others-heros.
Not that I ever condone murder, but would there be outrage if someone gunned down a Nazi guard who was murdering thousands of human beings during WWII?
Will he also order US Marshals to protect polling places from armed Black Panthers?
In all probability, the “doctor” was a large contributor to the church.
Those who are against abortion are now terrorists.
I know, I know. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wrestling with this one.
But then, I have vested interest. I got to meet the lady who talked my birth mother out of aborting me. I’m a little biased.
Obama'a in favor of infanticide, so it's not surprising that a partial-birth-abortionist would be his ally.
NOW said “the anti-abortion cause” was behind Tiller’s murder and other actions against abortion centers and practitioners even though members of pro-life groups have never been behind any such incident.
Saying that bringing the person who killed Tiller to justice is “not enough,” NOW called on the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security to “root out and prosecute as domestic terrorists and violent racketeers the criminal enterprise that has organized and funded criminal acts for decades.”
“We call on the new attorney general Eric Holder and head of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to treat these murders in the same way they would treat politically-motivated domestic terrorism of any other kind and put the full resources of their two departments behind that effort,” they said.
Kansas City Star columnist Mike Hendricks blamed pro-life advocates for Tiller’s death, saying there had been a “vitriolic campaign that has been waged against Tiller for more than two decades by anti-abortion groups.”
As “accomplices,” Hendricks named “every one who has ever called Tiller’s late term abortion clinic a murder mill.”
“The groups who spent decades fomenting hate toward” Tiller, he claimed. “Hate. Not heated opposition. Not strong disagreement. But blind hatred. The kind of hate that would prompt some maniac to take a gun into a church and shoot a man to death in front of friends and family.”
Hendricks went as far as
If in fact it comes to light that the shooting today was done for the motives of trying to stop abortion (and again, that is by no means clear), the point should not be missed that the killings of other abortionists and their staff (David Gunn – 1993; John Britton – 1994; Shannon Lowney and Leanne Nichols – 1994; Barnett Slepian – 1998) occurred in an environment in which there was a lot of frustration over the pro-abortion initiatives of President Clinton. Now, there is similar frustration regarding the Obama Presidency and its support of abortion. This is not to blame our Presidents for someone’s misguided actions. But neither should we miss what may be emerging as a pattern: when hope diminishes that the government is going to do something to protect the vulnerable, the temptation to take the law into one’s own hands increases.
Interesting insight. Yet he presents a cool demeanor. He gives me the creeps. I thought Clinton was bad, but he was a piker compared to Obama.
Here’s my statement: I abhor all murders.
