Abortion doctor killed in his church
Bombed 24 years ago, shot in both arms 15 years ago, the nutters finally nailed him today.

WICHITA, Kansas - An arrest has been made in the slaying of late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, who was gunned down Sunday morning at his church in Wichita, Kan., according to an FBI spokesperson.

Tiller, a prominent advocate for abortion rights wounded by a protester more than a decade ago, was serving as an usher and his wife was in the choir at the time of the shooting, his attorney said.

...

The women's clinic run by Tiller is one of three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy, when the fetus is considered viable, and has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades. A protester shot Tiller in both arms in 1993, and his clinic was bombed in 1985.

Monnat said Sunday that Tiller had asked federal prosecutors to step up investigations of vandalism and other threats against the clinic out of fear that the incidents were increasing and that Tiller's safety was in jeopardy.

1. Father Pavone is already blowing smoke and chaff
Fuck this PR-minded sleazoid flack. A woman is grieving her dead husband while this coldly dismissive PRIEST jumps first, front and center to defend the "pro-life" brand.

2. lemme guess - this one's not about religion either
No doubt one of those atheist "pro-life" killers.

3. Murdering another person...
is in my opinion NEVER acceptable.

Particularity abhorrent is murdering someone because of your religious views.
