Late-Term Abortion Provider Murdered

George Tiller, who performed late-term abortions and was the target of pro-life protesters throughout his career, was shot dead as he attended church this morning.

A candlelight vigil is planned in his hometown of Wichita. The National Right To Life Committee issued a statement condemning the attack.

National Right to Life Committee unequivocally condemns any such acts of violence regardless of motivation. The pro-life movement works to protect the right to life and increase respect for human life. The unlawful use of violence is directly contrary to that goal.
