George Tiller, controversial doctor, has been murdered!

George Tiller, the Wichita doctor who became a national lightning rod in the debate over abortion, was shot to death this morning as he walked into church services.

Tiller was shot just after 10 a.m. at Reformation Lutheran Church at 7601 E. 13th, where he was a member of the congregation. An anonymous police source confirmed Tiller was the victim.

Right wing terrorism has struck Kansas.

...this is that back yard of our own we need to clean up...

:sarcasm:


:mad:

Rabid anti-abortionists probably are as crazed as jihadists.

Both are murdering assholes but I've never heard of an anti-abortionist strapping on a suicide belt and taking out 40-50 people.

Looks awfully similar to me...except they aren't willing to commit suicide.

While Jihadists in various parts of the world go through with bombings nearly every day.

Fucking anti-choice, anti-women terrorists.

:grr:

I guess he/she's got to protect his/her fellow amoeba-like entities at the expense of other more ADVANCED life forms!

United States Law Code – the law that governs the entire country – contains a definition of terrorism embedded in its requirement that Annual Country reports on Terrorism be submitted by the Secretary of State to Congress every year. (From U.S. Code Title 22, Ch.38, Para. 2656f(d)

(d) Definitions
As used in this section—
(1) the term “international terrorism” means terrorism involving citizens or the territory of more than 1 country;
(2) the term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents;
(3) the term “terrorist group” means any group, or which has significant subgroups which practice, international terrorism;
(4) the terms “territory” and “territory of the country” mean the land, waters, and airspace of the country; and
(5) the terms “terrorist sanctuary” and “sanctuary” mean an area in the territory of the country—
(A) that is used by a terrorist or terrorist organization—
(i) to carry out terrorist activities, including training, fundraising, financing, and recruitment; or
(ii) as a transit point; and
(B) the government of which expressly consents to, or with knowledge, allows, tolerates, or disregards such use of its territory and is not subject to a determination under—
(i) section 2405(j)(1)(A) of the Appendix to title 50;
(ii) section 2371 (a) of this title; or
(iii) section 2780 (d) of this title.

That's fucking insane.

I suppose it was one of those people claiming they value the sanctity of life who murdered him. Just shit.

All the right wing talking heads who actively stir up the frenzy and keep the temperature in the pot just under a full boil are responsible for this.

These people must be held accountable for what they say. The psycho hypocrites out there don't see the error of their logic when they kill others in the name of life.

OK - why is it when this happens, the Freepers go wild, but when Reagan or any other Reich Wing Demon dies, we have to mourn with the racists?

All men have feet of clay, and it looks like Tiller did cross the line when it came to not reporting the statutory rape of underage girls. Licensing board was starting to look at it with an eye to pulling his license.

That in no way excuses his murder.

Doing so means taking on considerable risk with very little in return

regarding the non-reporting of statutory rape. I've read the complaint and each accusation levied against him is for fraud and nearly identical to the charges of which he was found not-guilty.

The link for the pdf of the complaint is here:

why?
In CHURCH, no less!

Terrorism is correct, and I'd like to see how much of the extra legal crap our govt has done to other persons of interest
gets done to this mother fucker.

Let's do all those things Unka Dik says will make us safer to find the next doctor killer.
Or not. But I think maybe this is a capital punishment murder sentence begging to be handed down.

Tiller shot INSIDE ... and perp drove away??? Sheesh!

inside the church while the service was in session or outside in the parking lot?

Someone walked into the church, opened fire, and then ran it out.

I might be wrong though.

Police said they are looking for white male who was driving a 1990s powder blue Ford Taurus with Kansas license plate 225 BAB.

A Jesus loving pro-life man kills a doctor in a church.
I give up!! Throw away the key.

because an MD who provided abortion services was a deacon there--when we lived in Lincoln.

I went down, with Bible in hand, one Sunday (summer of 2000, I think) to talk to these people. The city let them demonstrate on the sidewalk in front of the church every week. They carried extremely large photos of remains from abortions. The church was losing members with small kids on a regular basis.
One of the members came out to talk to me and I asked them why they let these people (It was Operation Rescue) get away with this, week after week. I asked them why they didn't organize members, or pro-choice members from other local churches, to come out on the street and carry their own signs to obscure what the Operation Rescue folks were displaying. He had no answer.

It was quite an experience. I read Numbers 5:11-31 to the group of protesters and asked them what they thought happened if the adulteress was guilty and pregnant when the priest administered the potion? The obvious answer is that--and it's right there in the language--she would miscarry. I asked them what it meant that God would give Moses a ritual for the priests to use that could result in an abortion?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205:11-31&version=49;

They couldn't stand that, started calling me the devil, and the guy who was directing all these women
counseled them not to speak to me. They all went to their posts, surrounding the building, and I walked
around trying to engage some of these sheeple women in a dialogue. They all started praying in response
to my trying to start a conversation.

It was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had.

Don't know whether that group is still demonstrating in front of the church.

Any Lincoln, NE DU'ers know? It was Westminster Presbyterian Church on Sheridan Blvd.

But good for you, and you're among the few who seem to be aware that God was A-OK with abortion, although it should be staggeringly obvious to anyone who has read that particular verse. Everyone knows what those "bitter herbs" were about.

May George Tiller rest in peace.

Yeah it's batshit crazy to think that someone opposed to abortion might launch an act of terror, right freepers? :eyes:

Not looking for an argument, but I read the article and saw nothing that would suggest to me he was "controversial."

Unless upholding the Constitutional is considered "controversial."

I myself don't think he was controversial.

Understand that these abortions are ONLY done for medical reasons. The right-wing likes to lie and say that women commonly abort 8-month fetuses "just because," but that's bullshit. Serious birth defects, neonatal medical conditions that are incompatible with life, and serious maternal health concerns are the ONLY reasons for late-term abortions.

Even so, they've tried to murder him plenty of times before. Today they finally managed it. The Freepers will undoubtedly be frantically masturbating over it for weeks, the sick fucks.

:puke:

:cry:

(AKA statutory rapes) and lack of independent 2nd opinions as required by KS law. There had been several investigations (witch hunts) and there was at least one pending.

My take is that he was not perfect but that in no way justifies murder

at least among the right wing pundits was that he performed abortions on juveniles who were below the statutory age of consent and did not notify the authorities.

(to get my birth control and prevent an abortion) thankfully there is an arm guard that usually works there
