Article: “Abortion Provider Shot Dead In Church”

One of the nation’s few doctors that perform late-term abortions, George R. Tiller, was killed in the lobby of his church in Wichita, Kansas. The main suspect is Scott Roeder, a man who had been spotted leaving the scene of the crime by churchgoers. Tiller, 67, ran the Women's Health Care Services clinic, one of three in the nation to perform abortions after the point when a fetus is considered able to survive outside the womb. President Obama issued a statement late in the day saying he was "shocked and outraged" by the killing. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has ordered the U.S. Marshals Service "to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation."
