Many who support Pro-Life often preach that they are all about peace and anti-violence. This does not seem to be the case when it came to the assassination of Dr. George Tiller. He was murdered inside his church in Wichita, Kansas. He was killed because he was a doctor who provided abortion services. George Tiller was a strong believer in Pro-Choice and that women had a right to their own bodies without the interference of the government. Tiller offered abortions to women who were carrying fetuses with severe or fatal birth defects. He also aborted fetuses, in cases where two doctors certified that carrying the fetus to term would cause the woman "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." George Tiller believed that women should not be forced to have a baby that came from rape or incest. He wanted to put a stop to this and because of that..he was murdered. Rachel Maddow felt strongly about Dr. Tiller's murder so she (with the help of few others) made a documentary titled, "The Assassination of Dr. Tiller". Here's a preview of it below. The interesting parts start around 2:00 minutes into the clip. Check it out if you get the chance. I thought it was crazy how the murderer of Dr. Tiller, Scott Roeder, got the idea of murdering him after watching The 700-Club on tv that morning. hmmm
Check out the clip and post what you think! :)
