Dr. George Tiller: A tragic way to live and a tragic way to die.

I join other truly pro-life people who believe it was wrong for someone to take on the role of judge, jury, and executioner of abortionist George Tiller. All life is precious. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

Even while condemning this tragedy, I cannot forget that George Tiller killed 60,000 unborn human beings. Last night, I dreamed about the babies. I dreamed about the baby funerals and baptisms that Tiller arranged for his patients. I knew I had to share these links with you.

Tiller's Wichita Clinic to Reopen Next Week

The clinic of slain Kansas abortion provider George Tiller will reopen after a week of mourning. One of four doctors who performed abortions at Tiller's clinic in Wichita said Monday that its operations will resume next week. Flowers were placed outside and the clinic flag flew at half staff. An anti-abortion group's sign said members prayed for Tiller to change his views but not for his murder. Dr. LeRoy Carhart, of Bellevue, Neb., has worked at Tiller's clinic for 10 years. He said Tiller set up a rotation schedule with three other doctors so the clinic could continue "whether he is there in person or in spirit."

“Sixty seven percent of female respondents said they were against allowing 16 and 17 year-olds to obtain abortions without the knowledge of their parents,” the article added.

Clinic Worker Chased Off Suspect Before Tiller's Slaying

The day before a Kansas abortion provider was gunned down at his church, the suspect in his slaying was chased off from another clinic he tried to vandalize, a worker there said Monday. Scott Roeder faces a scheduled court hearing Tuesday in the weekend slaying of Dr. George Tiller, one of the few U.S. doctors who still performed late-term abortions. Associates described Roeder as a regular participant in anti-abortion demonstrations in Kansas City and Wichita, where Tiller's practice was located, but most abortion opponents disavowed him Monday.
