Let's call him what he was. A mass murderer. With many others, I rejoiced at the news that he was dead. It was like hearing that Hitler was dead. I rejoiced! Why wouldn't anyone who is against massmurder??

I as well as many others believe what George Tiller did for a living was absolutely horrible. I also believe that it was horrible that George himself was murdered. Murdering a murderer... People please, please stopping killing innocent unborn children as well as any other human!

Deirdre Karger says:

It never ceases to amaze me that someone like laura who claims to have respect for human life can rejoice when a fully formed human such as Dr. Tiller is murdered. So she's against mass murder but not against the murder of one single individual? That's just crazy and hateful if you ask me.

Considering his total disregard for human life and law, I won't be shedding any tears. He should have been locked up earlier this year for using an employee for the required "independent" second opinion. Instead Sebelius ordered the prosecuter to not present evedence or call witnesses and he was found not guilty, go figure!

Sweet irony, if he had been convicted and locked up for breaking those laws, he would still be alive today.

I can't condone the shooting of Tiller, but I won't lose any sleep tonight knowing his reign of violence against viable innocent humans has stopped. Actually I feel like I felt when Jeff Dahmer was killed in prison....no loss to humanity.

hey "pro-life" assholes - want to help? stop bitching, picketing, and thumping your bible! Go out and pay for an unwed, uninsured, pregnant teenager's prenatal visits, hospital fees and other medical expenses, food, diapers, vaccinations, crib, clothes, formula...hell, send the little bastards to college. This is bullshit! Every woman should have a right to choose. Dr. Tiller was not dragging these woman in.

"can we please stop calling him "late-term abortion provider George Tiller"?)"

But that is what he is. It doesn't justify his killing (everyone on both sides of the abortion debate thinks it was wrong), but he did abortions on babies after the point of viability. And, pro-life or pro-choice, 90 percenbt of Americans oppose that.

"because of this campaign of terror, women in many parts of the country don't have access to basic health care."

Ther eis no campaign of terror, but apparently it is easier for you to demonize the majority of Americans who are pro-life. And abrotion isn't healthjj care. When does health care requiring killing children and injuring women?

"But I can and will make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Dr. Tiller's name. I hope you will also consider doing so."

Thank you for admitting that you support late-term abortions and are doing so in the name of someone who killed a mentally disabled teenage girl in a botched abortion and never spent one day in prison.

Gary says:

While the slaughtering of innocent unborn children is a crime against humanity, murdering a human being who performs these Nazi type slaughters is equally criminal. It can never be justified outside the law. Unfortunately, the law has been twisted and perverted to such a degree as to lead some to believe that the unborn innocents are not people with the same human rights as everyone else.

BTW, In response to Laura and Dierdre's comments, if the early attempts to kill Hitler were successful, or if someone had killed Stalin, millions of lives would have been spared. Of course Tiller was probably only responsible for 10's or 100's of thousands of deaths at $5,000.00 a hit, so it might be a bit of a stretch. Also, all three were within the laws of their respective countries when they killed innocents.

Revealing comments by the pro-lifers, you need to know your local loony tunes. If you want to know the real Dr. Tiller check out Daily Kos, "the doctor tiller I knew". You don't have to follow the lies of the anti-choice crowd, they will say anything, Cowards the lot of them.

Dear Fellow Readers,

As far as I know, we don't have any solid information as to who killed George Tiller or why. All major Pro-Life organizations are decrying his murder, as do I. Violence is never the answer to our problems - whether it be the violence of the murder of millions and millions of totally innocent babies, of which Dr. Tiller was a major participant, or the murder of a guilty late-term abortionist. NO ONE has a "right" to take the life of another human being - and a human being begins being a human being at the moment of conception.

To the person who commented that pro-life people should help support women who find themselves in unplanned pregnancies - pro-lifers do that EVERY DAY. There are more Pregnancy Resource Centers in the United States than there are abortuaries - Praise God!

T-Bob says:

My question is this: Why is it that liberals, who have abundant compassion and concern for the 911 terrorists and masterminds, are so quick to condemn a guy who took out a partial-birth abortionist?? If he truly is the domestic terrorist that they claim, isn't he entitled to some sympathy and compassion by their own standards?? But he'll never receive it. Why is that?? That would be because the real terrorist, whom they mourn, is a man who delighted in ending the lives of thousands of full-term, half-delivered babies. Did I forget to mention that they were also alive and received no anesthetic? Want to see a liberal get really mad and violent really quick? Speak the truth and describe things accurately, no matter how uncomfortable or shocking. Most of them can’t handle it. The blinders go up and the tempers flare. The I-know-more-than-you gland enlarges. Any intelligible thought or communication they might have is immediately replaced with profanity. Try it!

I find it interesting that this article calls abortion "basic health care". I'm going back to the simple..very simple question of since when did tearing little babies apart become basic HEALTH care???
I do not condone or support any violence to babies or to adults. Violence is not the answer. EVER. The murder of Abortionist Tiller was an evil act AND so is the murder of 4000+ babies a day in this county. And as far as women having the right to choice ..some choices are WRONG. Yes. Wrong.

Tiller was the modern day equivalent to Josef Mengele. Being a Libertarian Deist, I think he got what he deserved.

To think this dirtbag killed babies all day and then went home to a Roast Beef dinner!

I wonder how many future presidents he carved out of the womb? How many scientists? Or doctors?

Good Riddance Tiller!

Lucy says:

The murder of Dr. George Tiller is a senseless tragedy. This is a man who has courageously worked to offer aid and comfort to countless women despite the violence and ignorance that he has been subjected to. The thought that any abortion doctor is the target of the kind of barbaric and anti-human behavior that Dr. Teller has been the subject of is unacceptable. The fact that a doctor that provides these services when they are perhaps needed most, in the late term, when it is the most difficult choice that any woman will ever make, when she is typically choosing between her own life and that of a potential life that she nurtured inside of her; dreaming of the experiences they would have together; this amongst other horrific realities that lead her to make a choice that is condemned out of ignorance and hate.

It is unacceptable that monsters such as the one that slaughtered Dr. Tiller, a man of great strength and courage, should be left anywhere but the inside of a cage, which is the appropriate confine for such an unthinking beast.

Dr. George Tiller should be remembered with great respect and dignity for the relief that he provided to so many women. We should loudly mourn the passing of a hero today. All women who believe that they are the sovereign governers of their own bodies, minds, and lives should speak out loudly against the act that robbed an ally of his body, mind and life. We should demand that the cowardly beast that fled be tracked and held to the justice so richly deserved.

I would encourage every free woman, or man who has the strength to value free women, to find a way to pay tribute to this wonderful man. We should not let it appear that his murder has left us untouched. Let us make donations in his name to organizations and centers that exist to protect and extend the rights of women to be the rightful owners of their bodies and minds. Let us volunteer a portion of our time in his name to these same organizations. Letters to the editors acknowledging the value that his work had for so many women. Together we can start foundations in his name that provide funding for women who are financially unable to pay for services, or to pay for protection of the doctors that provide services.

Whatever falls within our ability, as an effort to show tribute to this man and to his family.

Suominona says:

Law exists to protect the innocent. Laws don't exist to protect the guilty. Laws don't have the power to define what is guilt, and what is innocence- thats gods job alone. This is the main failure and pretense of the legal profession- that THEY and they alone define right and wrong. The true 'right' and 'wrong' has nothing to do with american law. Laws are based on the conscience, and the conscience of man is the spirit of God. Where laws become evil, is where they intentionally expose the innocent to the ravages of evil people. Mothers have a choice- when they choose to have sex, they choose to get pregnant. That is what Sex is for (duh). These mothers' are not innocent. Doctors who kill babies are not innocent. Doctors and mothers together engaged in murdering babies, expose themselves to the ravages of others who in all good conscience, cannot stand idly by and watch it happen. Again, laws don't exist to define right and wrong. Human conscience does that. Tiller's murderer was following his conscience. I understand both sides. I feel the same about the fighters who murdered to establish the freedom of this nation from tyranny, as i feel about people who sacrifice themselves to protect the innocent and bring and end to what they view is absolutely intolerable. There are things worse than death. There are things worth murdering for. People need to be free, the innocent need to be protected. God judge who goes to hell- tiller or his murderer. One sacrificed babies to make moeny, another sacrificed his life for the innocent babies. Abortion practitioners SHOULD fear. They know its wrong. While i support the need for a rule of law, when the law fails to protect the innocent, people need to realize that the law then exposes those it supposedly protects, to violence, because there will be beings who recognize that failure and step in and take over. The law has failed because it failed to convict tiller, or at least make illegal tiller's activites before he was murdered. If it had been in the right, the law would have saved both tiller, his murderer, and all the babies he murdered. It is the law that has failed, and it is the Liberals who have created the law. Shame on them- they caused this problem.

Laura says:

Your sister is very brave. My hat's off to her. I've been lucky enough never to have been in the position of needing to make a choice about abortion in my own life. But if it wasn't for the myriad family planning services provided by Planned Parenthood, I very well might have been.

Girly Girl says:

Hey Laura (and all of you other idiots who think that it's "ok" to kill someone like Dr. Tiller)- I just want to let you know that you are truly a disgrace to the human race. I also want to tell you that you will never be able to silence women and they will always have the right to choose. I'm not a Dr. But, i do know many who perform late term abortions just like Dr. Tiller. And I'm very lucky in that I have a lot of money to donate to all of them (this includes planned parenthood). Did you hear that Planned Parenthood is now receiving money and funding and support after what these crazy murderes did to Dr. Tiller? Does that make you mad? I'm sorry if it does, but you will become increasingly angry once you see how much money and support abortion clinics start receiving in the coming months. I can only hope you realize how stupid you sound when you say Dr. Tiller is a "murderer". He is the opposite of that. He saves the lives of countless women.

Tiller's killing was wrong but he brought it on himself with the mass evil he did, unlike his own innocent victims.
It's shocking how viciously rude and personal are the leftists in attacking conservatives who support life. It is insane to honor as a humanitarian a guy who killed 60,000 babies to make what, about $60 million, and become a political hero for it? His death is an outrage while his 60,000 victims were not?
Strange humanitarian for the left. Shame. Would they have been fine with being aborted themselves? They only advocate doing it to others--50 million so far in the USA.

What kind of church would accept him as an usher? Sick. How much did he pay them for helping him rationalize himself and giving him social acceptability? Sounds like he himself used Christianity to justify terrorism.

How many of his 60,000 were at least partially justified by threatening the mother or being terribly malformed? Only a small proportion of abortions are done for such reasons, but they are hyped as the norm. Unlikely.

Bottom line; Tiller was a killer. You live by the "sword" you die by the "sword." I have no sympathy for money grubbing doctors acting like they are doing something good for people (women) but they are no better than a televagelist ripping off widows and orphans for their last cent!

You "Pro choice/death" people are such hypocrites - never seeing the forest because of the tree of your selfishness. Why don't you shed a tear for the children torn to shreds by this mans seared conscience.

The mothers are just as guilty as Tiller for allowing him to kill their babies. I believe God is taken his hand of protection off this nation for all the abortions and progressive degeneration. We are just seeing the beginning of it now with the economic collapse. Tiller received a much quicker departure from this life than many of his innocent victims!

Charles Ramsey says:

I'm nearly every day in front of the Planned Parenthood in Minnesota managed by David Stoesz's sister, for several hours and often the only pro-lifer present, and there is no "(being)jeered at and threatened by name on a daily basis." The staff walk to and from the building past us all day long with no words exchanged. After two years I'm only now reasonably sure which staff member is David's sister; I've never spoken with her and haven't heard anyone else do so. We're there to inform abortion clients of their life-giving alternatives.

I've told staff members that helping the babies helps the women, and that hurting the babies hurts the women; and have pointed out that over half of the aborted babies are girls, so that for them women's choice is being ignored. Once this was said, however, the conversation ended, and has remained so.

I don't know about the man in paramilitary clothing by her house, but I haven't heard of this in two years, and he doesn't come out with us to Planned Parenthood.
