Abortion Doctor Murdered
Despite the legality of abortion, those who work in facilities that provide abortions are still at risk from some people who don’t believe that abortions should be done. This became abundantly clear with today’s murder of 67-year-old Dr. George Tiller, one of the country’s few providers of late-term abortions.
According to the news, the father of four and grandfather of 10 was shot to death as he participated in his role as usher at the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas.
Dr. Tiller had received numerous threats over the course of his careeer. He was shot in both arms in 1993 and his clinic was bombed in 1985.
Late term abortions
The term “late term abortion” is a controversial one. Some people refer to any abortion after 12 weeks as a late term abortion, some after 16 weeks - but the most common definition is an abortion that is performed after 20 weeks gestation.
Feelings run very high on both sides of the abortion debate, let alone the late abortion debate. While the gunman committed a crime, there will be some who applaud him, while others revile him. Who is right? Is anyone right?
