Kan. abortion doc killed in church; suspect held 
WICHITA, Kan. – Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.

The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was detained some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said...

I think abortion . . . particularly late-term abortion - is a very wrong thing.

Murdering someone in cold blood is also wrong.

Two wrongs cannot, and never have, made a right.

I'm anti-abortion as well.... murder is murder. Pro-life fanatics who kill are no different then abortionists. F@cking idiots.

I'm fine with abortion.

I'm not so keen on killing something that's already popped out the womb.

While I certainly think it's awful what happened here, and I believe abortion should be legal, I actually can understand the motivations of such murders pretty easily. 

I sometimes wonder how I'd feel if I found out, say, someone who lived a few miles from me murdered people regularly, and in fact had been doing so for decades...  And the government knew about and decided the way he did it was legal and opted not to interfere.  Obviously, this isn't the way I view abortion, but that's pretty much how such extremists view it, I think.

And yet another reason I feel uncomfortable telling people what state I live in.

Oklahoma wasn't much better. We had a whacko politician there who wanted a constitutional ban on Garbage Pail Kids cards.

i live in wichita,and i'll happily tell you that dr.tiller saved my life, and it wasn't through an abortion(although i am pro-choice). he happened to be doing pro bono work at the health clinic, i came in with major pain, and he got me to a hospital and did emergency surgery, as i had had 2 cysts burst in my uterus.
the first doctor to see me told me it was indigestion! i could have died of peritonitis before anything was done, if it wasn't for him actually listening to me.
he was a good man.did you know he also helped to coordinate an adoption service?

Maybe someone should have explained this to the idiot who killed him-before he killed him.
