Wichita Terrorist Claims Victory. And Replacements

From CNN

An anti-abortion activist [ed - domestic terrorist, Scott Roeder] suspected in the death of Kansas doctor George Tiller told CNN on Tuesday the closing of Tiller’s women’s clinic is “a victory for all the unborn children.”

[...]

Tiller, 67, was one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions. He had already survived one attempt on his life before he was slain. Roeder is jailed on first-degree murder and aggravated assault charges in Tiller’s death. A Kansas judge earlier this month set his bail at $5 million.

Tuesday’s statement, issued by attorneys for Tiller’s family, said his Women’s Health Care Services Inc. will be permanently closed, effective immediately. “Notice is being given today to all concerned that the Tiller family is ceasing operation of the clinic and any involvement by family members in any other similar clinic,”

The wording of the Tiller family statement makes me wonder if the family had been receiving other credible terrorist threats if the clinic continued.

He also warned of other terror cells waiting to put their plans into action.

Scott Roeder called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail, where he’s being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Dr. George Tiller one week ago.

“I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal,” Roeder said. When asked by the AP what he meant and if he was referring to another shooting, he refused to elaborate further.

Yet, he seems amazed that he is being “treated like a criminal“.

    What an outrage! Abortion is still quite legal in this country – the murder of full-grown people (ie beings outside the womb, which everyone can agree upon are alive) is NOT. This man is a cold-blooded killer and murderer.

    And wasn’t Dr. Tiller providing abortions to usually save the mothers’ lives? You can always have more children, you can’t always get another wife!

    Until I see pro-lifers put down their guns and protest outside the Department of Defense and Pentagon for murder I will regard them as a bunch of hypocrites. Children in Iraq are definately alive. Civilians are definately people. Start protesting the real tragedies people! Leave the guns at home and respect a woman’s legal right to choose.

    I suggest if you feel strongly about this, start a protest outside your local church. If churchgoers have to cross a picket line to get to their terrorist organizations they might rethink some of their beliefs.

    Perhaps a constitutional amendment to repeal freedom of religion might make them think again about what they are promoting.

    Lindsay, BMan, welcome and thanks for commenting.

    Lindsay, yes Dr. Tiller saved lots of women’s lives – there have been people posting their very personal experiences with the type of abortions he performed, all over the web – tragic and heartbreaking reading. I truly do not understand how anyone could think that this was something done lightly or for no reason. Unreal.

    BMan, well it’s not all churches or churchgoers who involve themselves in stuff like this, or who are even anti-choice. I don’t have much use for religion myself, but I do think freedom to practice one’s religion is an important right which should be protected.

    This, of course, does not prevent anyone from disagreeing strongly with the religion or the religious teachings. Which I am quite willing to do.
