Abortion Doctor's Murder Sparks Waves Of Calm, Rational Discussion

WICHITA, KS—The cold-blooded murder of late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, 67, who was gunned down last week by a pro-life activist during services at a local church, has ignited a firestorm of thoughtful, quiet debate about the practice of abortion. “When I saw how [Dr. Tiller] was shot in the head at point-blank range, I couldn’t help but think, ’Maybe the other side has some logical points worth listening to,’” pro-choice activist Melinda Brody said. “I have a feeling this senseless act of violence will help resolve the divisive reproductive-rights issue once and for all.” Brody also said she’s encouraging doctors across the country to double the number of late-term abortions they perform in hopes of provoking even more open and rational dialogue.
