Right to Life Deplores Murder of Abortionist George Tiller

Right to Life joins with the international pro-life movement in condemning as an unspeakable and evil act the murder of late term abortionist George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas. He was murdered on Sunday, 31 May in the Reformist Lutheran church in Wichita.

The international pro-life movement is opposed to violence. It is opposed to violence against unborn children and it is opposed to violence against abortionists and their property. The pro-life movement upholds the right to life of every human being from conception to natural death. The senseless and cowardly murder of George Tiller was a violation of his right to life.  

George Tiller was a notorious late term abortionist who has killed more than 60,000 helpless unborn children. The pro-life movement sought justice for his actions through peaceful and lawful means. The violence against unborn children will not be stopped by exercising violence against abortionists.

Scott Roeder, 51 has been charged with the first degree murder of George Tiller. It has been revealed that the accused who has a criminal record is not a member of any mainstream pro-life organisation. It is pleasing that the alleged perpetrator of this heinous crime has been apprehended and will now be brought to justice.  

Right to Life’s prayer is for the mercy of God for the soul of George Tiller and for comfort for his grieving family.
