Dr. Tiller Shot and Killed
WICHITA, Kan. — Dr. George Tiller, who remained one of the nation’s few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.
The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was arrested some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said.
Long a focus of national anti-abortion groups, including a summer-long protest in 1991, Tiller was shot in the foyer of Reformation Lutheran Church, Stolz said. Tiller’s attorney, Dan Monnat, said Tiller’s wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time. Johnson County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Erickson said Scott Roeder was the man whose car was stopped on Interstate 35 on Sunday, about three hours after the shooting of George Tiller. Earlier in the day, Wichita police said the suspect was a 51-year-old man from Merriam, Kan., but they refused to identify him by name. Roeder has not been charged in the slaying, but he was expected to be taken to Wichita for questioning. Click here for photos. The slaying of the 67-year-old doctor is “an unspeakable tragedy,” his widow, four children and 10 grandchildren said in statement. “This is particularly heart-wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace.”
The family said its loss “is also a loss for the city of Wichita and women across America. George dedicated his life to providing women with high-quality health care despite frequent threats and violence.” Tiller’s Women’s Health Care Services clinic is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy.
The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, but Stolz said there was no indication of security at the church Sunday. Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri said it was working with law enforcement to secure its facilities Sunday even after the suspect was in custody.

More recently, Monnat said Tiller had asked federal prosecutors to step up investigations of vandalism and other threats against the clinic out of fear that the incidents were increasing and that Tiller’s safety was in jeopardy. Stolz, however, said police knew of no threats connected to the shooting. In early May, Tiller had asked the FBI to investigate vandalism at his clinic, including cut wires to surveillance
cameras and damage to the roof that sent rainwater pouring into the building. Anti-abortion groups denounced the shooting and stressed that they support only nonviolent protest. The movement’s leaders fear the killing could create a backlash just as they are scrutinizing U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, whose views on abortion rights are not publicly known. “We are shocked at this morning’s disturbing news that Mr. Tiller was gunned down,” Troy Newman, Operation Rescue’s president, said in a statement. “Operation Rescue has worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see him brought to justice. We denounce vigilantism and the cowardly act that took place this morning.”
In 1991, the Summer of Mercy protests organized by Operation Rescue drew thousands of anti-abortion activists to this city for demonstrations marked by civil disobedience and mass arrests.
Tiller began providing abortion services in 1973. He acknowledged abortion was as socially divisive as slavery or prohibition but said the issue was about giving women a choice when dealing with technology that can diagnose severe fetal abnormalities before a baby is born.
Nancy Keenan, president of abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America, issued a statement praising Tiller’s commitment.
“Dr. Tiller’s murder will send a chill down the spines of the brave and courageous providers and other professionals who are part of reproductive-health centers that serve women across this country. We want them to know that they have our support as they move forward in providing these essential services in the aftermath of the shocking news from Wichita,” Keenan said.
After the 1991 protests, Tiller kept mostly to his heavily guarded clinic, although in 1997 he opened it to three tours by state lawmakers and the media.
The clinic is fortified with bulletproof glass, and Tiller hired a private security team to protect the facility. Once outside the clinic, Tiller was routinely accompanied by a bodyguard.
At a recent trial, he told jurors that he and his family have suffered years of harassment and threats and that he knew he was a target of anti-abortion protesters.
Federal marshals protected Tiller during the 1991 Summer of Mercy protests, and he was protected again between 1994 and 1998 after another abortion provider was assassinated and federal authorities reported finding Tiller’s name on an assassination list.
Tiller remained prominent in the news, in part because of an investigation begun by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, an abortion opponent.
Prosecutors had alleged that Tiller had gotten second opinions from a doctor who was essentially an employee of his, not independent as state law requires. A jury in March acquitted Tiller of all 19 misdemeanor counts.
“I am stunned by this lawless and violent act, which must be condemned and should be met with the full force of law,” Kline said in a written statement. “We join in lifting prayer that God’s grace and presence rest with Dr. Tiller’s family and friends.”
Abortion opponents also questioned then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ ties to Tiller before the Senate confirmed her this year as U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary. Tiller donated thousands of dollars to Sebelius over the years.

Be A Black Belt Recuiter
If you are part of a MLM or looking to become part of a great company, there are some great tools out there to help you be successful. Black Belt Recuiting is one of them. See it here. There is a lot to learn about how to get the great Kyani product in front of people and it is best to learn from the best.
“So how does Black Belt Recruiting helps the struggling network marketing rep?
In a couple of ways:
(1) Firstly, it teaches the network marketing rep not to fear the phone. You see, the fear of calling your prospect is most probably the Achilles heel that prevents people from achieving tremendous success in network marketing! If you want to learn to be able to master your fear, the best thing you can do is to focus on building your posture and really act as though the ball is over on your court, not the prospect’s court.
(2) Remove yourself from your desperation! One of the biggest causes why people fail in network marketing is because they are too desperate to get results in network marketing. If you feel that your next meal depends on you closing your next prospect in your next phone call, you will most likely see your prospects as dollar signs and that will be one of the fastest ways to kill your business. Black Belt Recruiting teaches you how to deal with this effectively.
(3) Do you know what is one of the best ways to deal with difficult prospects? You might not expect this just simply hang up the phone! People get too hard up with trying to prospect almost anyone they meet. They don’t realize that people who do not qualify themselves to be in your network marketing team are only taking up your time and sucking your energy dry. Black Belt Recruiting teaches people that the key is to not let them take advantage of your time. If you find that this person does not qualify to be in your business, let him go! Just say, NEXT and move on to the next guy who qualifies.
(4) How to harness the power of attraction marketing and have people come to you instead of you hunting them down. Black Belt Recruiting teaches network marketing reps how to speak in such a way that attracts your prospects to you. They will be so naturally drawn to what you say that they will feel as though they are losing out if they don’t join you. You can even checkout the results from long distance using pcnow.

LiveMeeting? I pass.
Live Meeting Review. So, I was looking for a way to do some video webinars with customers and clients. I ran into a couple of options, one being Microsoft Live meeting. The website demo was impressive and made me excited get it going. I signed up and tried the system. First of all, my computer took quite a while to load up the live meeting software. That was the first hit against it. Now I just wonered how easy it would be for my attendees to join my meeting. So, I tried it out.
The result? Only about 40% of my people on my first trial meeting could even get into the meeting. How frustrating. That would really hurt if you had paying customers on the webinar. I tried a few more time, with similar results. My attendees told me that they had to load a file and it just sat there and wouldn’t load up for them.
I was done with that right there. Instead of LiveMeeting, try a more reliable service like Webex Free trial
. That is the way I went. More expensive, but has good reliability and an easy interface with video capabilities.
