DR Tiller, dead. In the land of home, the brave, the racists, the religious terrorists, the land where we kill each other when we can't agree. How sad.

Media reports: Abortion doctor Tiller killed
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WICHITA, Kan. — Media reports say that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church.

Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortion. His clinic has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades.
May the fetus you save be gay.

I can hardly wait to see what happens when some religious leader decides to demonize vasectomies as "tampering with God's plan."

Tiller was a mass murderer killed by a murderer. Ironic and sad at the same time.

He was a medical professional whom you've labeled a murderer by your layman's opinion of medical techniques that you're no more qualified to judge than my cat.

I read that the killer ran away from the scene of his crime. Why, I wonder? If he was certain that he was doing the right thing, and that he was doing what God wants... why would he run? Would not a true soldier of God stand up tall and say "I can't tell a lie (cause God says lying is wrong) -- I did what my God wants done."?

Now I wonder if I'll ever hear of ANY genuine disapproval from the "Religious Right." What I expect -- what I've seen so far -- is some empty platitudes that echo of secret, shame-faced cheering. :evil:

It doesn't take a "medical professional" to see that killing a innocent child in late term abortion is murder. You are sick and need help.

I doubt you'll find but very few people who approve of this murder but I'm sure you'll find an angle to ensure it looks as if the religious right fully approves of it.

Then your cat is smarter than you are. Abortion is murder. Late term abortion is murder with an attitude.

Nothing good comes from murder. But I have to say that the last line of the article from the AP is disturbing:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090531/ap_on_re_us/us_tiller_shooting_20

Grace is due for family and friends but not for the victim. Minor oversight.

Again the anti-abortionists prove they are NOT pro-life. But we already knew that because they approve of state-sponsored murder (excuse me, executions). I never agreed with Tiller's doing late term abortions. But I simply cannot imagine somebody going into a church to gun down anybody. Tiller was a staunch supporter of women's rights. And he provided care to women too poor to go to Mexico for the care they sought. He was a hero for women and for men who care about women.

He was a hero no more than Hitler was a hero.

So would it be kosher to assasinate pro-lifers and not prosecute? After all - eventually they'll be before the final judge.

Take your pick: This is a life cut short for the atheist, another martyr for the feminists, or satans spawn for the fundamantalists about to fill one and the same hole in the ground.

"Whatever the judge would decide is just for pre-mediated murder. He is before the final judge now. "

It's murder. You ought to protest his murder as passionately as those aborted. Both are an affront to the heart.

Unfortunately late term abortions are sometimes necessary and with the intimidation of doctors there aren't many who will do them. Tiller ended up with more than his share.

Questioner wrote:And he provided care to women too poor to go to Mexico for the care they sought. He was a hero for women and for men who care about women.

The antiabortionists like to accuse doctors of being motivated by money. When you look at Tiller's life, it makes an interesting story.

He originally planned to be a dermatologist, a nice lucrative and safe practice. But after seeing the death of a desperate woman after a botched illegal abortion he felt he had to do something. So he pursued a career that rewarded him with public vilification, being shot in both arms and continually receiving death threats. Despite this he knew he was doing something important and has now died for understanding that abortions do not stop if they are made illegal, desperate women will continue to procure them and die in the process. So yes, he is a hero and a martyr.

And since what he was doing was not murder - premeditated or otherwise, any judge would (and have) released him to continue reducing suffering.

So, are you saying you are against abortion??

Christ Kills Two, Injures Seven In Abortion-Clinic Attack

HUNTSVILLE, AL–Jesus Christ, son of God and noted pro-life activist, killed two and critically wounded seven others when He opened fire in the waiting room of a Huntsville abortion clinic Tuesday.
Security guards at the Women's Medical Clinic of Huntsville were able to disarm the Messiah before He could reload His weapon, a secondhand Glock 9mm pistol that authorities said He purchased legally at a Jackson, MS, sporting-goods store. "Abortion is a sin," said Christ as He was led away in handcuffs. "It is an abomination in the eyes of Me." Witnesses said the attack, which took the lives of Dr. Nelson Woodring, 51, and clinic nurse Danielle Costa, 29, came from "out of nowhere."

"He walked up to the admissions desk and asked if He could see Dr. Woodring," receptionist Iris Reid said. "The next thing I knew, He was shouting Biblical verses and opening fire on everything moving."

"It was horrible," said injured clinic nurse Jessica Combs, recovering at a local hospital with bullet wounds to the leg and abdomen. "He put his hands over Dr. Woodring's head and told him He forgave him for his sins, and then He shot him right in the face." Huntsville police officials are not certain how the Messiah was able to bypass clinic guards and proceed undetected past security cameras and into the clinic waiting room, where He produced the gun from its hiding place in the folds of His robe. Federal investigators are similarly baffled, saying that the heavily armed Christ had moved in "mysterious ways."

Speaking to reporters from His holding cell, Christ, 33, said He had "no regrets" about what He had done.

"As I said in John 16:21, every life is precious," Christ said. "This means every life, not just those who have already been born. My father, the Lord, feels the same way I do. In Jeremiah 1:5, He said unto the prophet Jeremiah, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.' The unborn fetus is a sacred, living creation of my Father in Heaven and should be treated as such."

Added Christ: "What if the Virgin Mary had decided to abort me? Certainly she must have been tempted to do so. After all, it wasn't even her decision to conceive me in the first place. But in the end, she made the right decision, bringing her pregnancy to term and giving the world a Savior. Blessed is she among women." According to legal experts, if convicted, Christ could face the death penalty.

Interesting write up on the crazy right wing reaction to this shooting on Twitter:

One side effect of Twitter is that the stupid, bigoted comments people used to make at the water cooler now get preserved for future employers to find using Google.

A small sample of the hatred expressed on Twitter after the assassination of Dr Tiller:

* Crap, I always forgot hashtags. I'm happy Tiller's dead. - Jennifer Waite, Selah, Washington

* the killing of tiller the baby killer was JUSTICE, not murder. - eqbt
* Glad someone offed Tiller. Baby Killer. - Kat, Kansas

A number of these posts are tagged #tcot (top conservatives on twitter), this is apparently some new meaning of top that we're not familiar with.

The Twitter search "George Tiller" OR #Tiller was running at about one tweet per second for the last two hours. The overwhelming majority of tweets from both sides of the abortion issue expressed horror at the assassination of Dr Tiller.

If you are as outranged as we are by this senseless assassination, please donate to Planned Parenthood or Medical Students for Choice in honor of Dr Tiller.
