George Tiller: Abortion Doctor Shot In 1993, Clinic Bombed In 1985 (PHOTOS)

Buried within the news today about George Tiller, the Kansas abortion doctor, who was gunned down while attending church, is a reference to the multiple times the doctor was attacked in the past.

From AP:

Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortion, making him a favored target of anti-abortion protesters. He testified that he and his family have suffered years of harassment and threats. His clinic was the site of the 1991 "Summer of Mercy" protests marked by mass demonstrations and arrests. His clinic was bombed in 1985, and an abortion opponent shot him in both arms in 1993

How can someone murder someone because he "believes" that someone is murdering someone? Doesn't that cancel out the whole purpose of his cause? How come Pro Choice people aren't concerned about what you chose to do with your life and your body, but the Pro Life people want you to do as they do and only what they believe? Whatever happened to I respect you even though I might not agree with you and you return the same to me?

It's all ridiculous and senseless!!!!!!!!

Once again Christian extremists justify murder in God's name. This is horrific. Do they claim Jesus pulled the trigger? Would he have condoned this murder? I doubt it. He is likely shaking his head in shame.

He was a brave man to go to work every day, which is not something we should have to say about our doctors.

Never another penny to a Christian organization....

I seriously doubt you have every contributed to a Christian organization before. So, spare us your righteous indignation.

Gee, it must be great knowing everything about everyone and sitting in judgment of us all.

Well me and my family did donate our money so I guess that gives me the right to my"righteous indignation", and most of them was spent trying to keep our pedophile preachers from being jailed. There happy?

Nothing like religion over morality.

Figures this would happen in Kansas.
