Six Years Later
And still, none dare call it terrorism.
Not a damn thing has changed, except for state and federal legislators adding more and more and more restrictions on women's health care.
Why the Murder of an Abortion Provider Resonates Six Years Later
Six years ago Sunday, after decades in the spotlight thanks to persistent slander from talking head Bill O'Reilly and relentless on-sight clinic harassment from anti-abortion groups like Operation Rescue, George Tiller was murdered by anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder in the foyer of his church in Wichita, Kansas.
Tiller had become the 11th known abortion provider to be killed in the United States for their work. Fellow late-term provider Warren Hern told ABC News in 2009: "I'm appalled and shocked by this assassination, but I'm not surprised. This is not the single act of a deranged gunman. This is the absolutely predictable result of 35 years of anti-abortion harassment."
