Dr. George Tiller, Grandfather of 10 Murdered In Church While His Wife Sang In the Choir
This morning the unthinkable happened. Families in Wichita had breakfast, and got dressed in their Sunday best so they could join together in prayer. Dr. George Tiller's wife, Jeanne, sang in the choir, and in the foyer of the Reformation Lutheran Church of Wichita Kansas, Dr. George Tiller was murdered in cold blood.
Scott Roeder has been arrested in the slaughter of Dr. Tiller.
Dr. Tiller is no stranger to violence at the hands of those who purport to save lives. Dr. George Tiller was shot in both arms in 1993, by a virulent Pro Life Crusader. Dr. Tiller has been the beneficiary of police protection (as high as the federal level) due to credible threats on his life. A simple Google search of Dr. George Tiller will show you what a lightening rod he really was. Dr. Tiller continued practicing medicine and performing late term abortions on women who required them even after having been shot.
The feminism of my mother's generation revolved around reproductive rights. My mother hid her pregnancy with me (she was a married schoolteacher) because she knew she'd have been fired for her pregnancy. My mother also explained to me that she and her counterparts took the first generation of birth control pills knowing that they'd grow mustaches, but they were, "so happy to have sex without worrying about having a baby or dying that no one cared."
