Abortion Doctor Murdered in Kansas

drtillerDr. George Tiller, medical director of the Women’s Health Care Services in Wichita Kansas, was gunned down in his Kansas church yesterday (Kansas Abortion Doctor Killed in Church).  Dr. Tiller’s clinic was one of only 3 in the country that offers abortion services after 21 weeks (called late-term abortion).  Over the past few years Dr. Tiller had experienced various acts of violence and multiple threats (both of his arms were shot in 1993 – with the shooter hoping Dr. Tiller wouldn’t be able to perform abortions anymore). Although many pro-choice groups claim Dr. Tiller deserved to die for all the innocent lives he took – I believe his death is an enormous tragedy.   We all need to think through these issues for ourselves and our families.  Do you believe that women should have access to legal abortion?  If so, how far along in pregnancy should this option be available?  If you do not think abortion should be legal, why not?  What options do you think a woman with an unplanned pregnancy has?
