“To clarify my position, I also consider late-term abortions for reasons other saving the life or health of the mother, or in the case of severe fetal defects that will result in lives of unacceptable suffering, morally unacceptable.”

So did Dr. Tiller. So do all of us.

First of all, you need to link all these outlandish claims. How do you know how much money Dr. Tiller made and how many abortions he actually performed?

Secondly, even if your stats are correct, Dr. Tiller was one of three doctors in this country who performed late term abortions. One of three. So he would have had a lot of women, coming in from all states, who needed his services.

Maybe you would rather see these women die. Or their babies born to suffer for hours or days and die regardless. The abortions he performed were in cases of severe abnormality or threat to a woman’s life or health.

Yes, he was. Thank you for writing this. I’m appalled by the comments I’m reading here.

The man was a hero. A real one and there are so few in the world. Now there is one less.

Late term abortions are needed for two reasons: the mother’s life is in danger or the fetus is not viable, which means it will not live life outside the womb.

Dr. Tiller was a hero to women. He helped women in desperate need when few others could and he did so under constant threat from the ignorant and the politically ambitious.

Those abortions, which you so lament, saved women’s lives and ended the needless suffering of the non viable unborn.

What is it about severe fetal abnormalities and life threatening pregnancies that you don’t understand?

It has been reported on the news … and a late term abortion in his office would have cost you $5000.00. Do the math.

Well I can’t remember anything from civics classes but for the governor to dismiss criminal charges seems far fetched to me. They can pardon the convicted and stay a death sentence but I doubt that they can interfere with the judicial process.

Made millions? You saw his income tax returns?

Please be specific, was his fee $6,000 or was the procedure $6,000? There is a difference, you know.

You would think that were he as bad as some of you here seem to know he is he would have been asked to leave his church.
But then that would require rational thought.

Are you sure it wasn’t the work of a pedophile priest victim?

I read on ASC News site that Dr. Tiller estimated for the year 2003 he performed 350-400 late term abortions at the cost of $6000.00 each. So while becoming such a humanitarian, he was also becoming a millionaire. Sort of like Al Gore with the billions he stands to make with his investments in green technology.

Luv you Seattle Moss but just can’t be egocentric enough to consider we are “founded on the principles of a higher power” and we are “a beacon of hope for all humanity”.
I always saw the country as founded on fairness for all and so long as we stay fair and honest in the eyes of the world we will have their respect.

Maybe that’s because we are founded on the principles of a higher power and through the declaration of independence and the constitution are a beacon of hope for all humanity.

At least I believe it still…I’m not sure Obama does though….

I’d just like to say two things:

1- The decision another woman makes and wrestles with about her own health and circumstances is her own to make and is her own business – not mine.

2- Does anyone find it odd that there is no cultural civil war going on in any comparable western country over this? I don’t mean philosophical discussions, I mean public hatred and killings. And that includes all the Catholic European countries.
