Abortion doctor killed in CHURCH.

Hey whackjobs - if you think this is what God wants, think again. From Yahoo! News:
WICHITA, Kan. – Dr. George Tiller, who remained one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions through decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher and his wife was in the choir.

The gunman fled, but Johnson County Sheriff's Deputy Tom Erickson said a suspect was in custody. Erickson said the person authorities had been seeking is being held in New Century, Kan., about 170 miles northeast of Wichita, until Wichita police can question him.

Police had few details on the shooting but scheduled a news conference late Sunday afternoon.

Long a focus of national anti-abortion groups, including a summer-long protest in 1991, Tiller was shot during morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. His attorney Dan Monnat said Tiller was an usher at the services and his wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time.

Tiller's killing is "an unspeakable tragedy," his widow, four children and 10 grandchildren said in statement issued by Monnat. "This is particularly heart-wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace."

The family said its loss "is also a loss for the city of Wichita and women across America. George dedicated his life to providing women with high-quality health care despite frequent threats and violence."

And three and a half months later a pro-choicer gunned down anti-abortion protester James Pouillon.

Did you post your opinion on that story anywhere, or are some murders okay.
