Late Term Abortionist George Tiller was shot dead as he walked into church today.

While I think he is an HP, this was wrong.

Predicting what a few responses will be, just remember that there is a big difference between being anti-abortion and pro-life and that there is also plenty violence from the pro-abortion side as well.

After Gunn & Tiller, who's the next target of the pro-life movement?

That's a shame.  It is a disgraceful practice, but to kill him isn't called for.

Agreed. The murderer should be captured and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I find what Tiller did in his line of work disgusting, but not worthy of death. Nothing is worthy of that. In a just world, both would be in prison. Alas, there was no justice this day.

I think the part that implies that pro-life activists get death threats or are assassinated

I do not condone his death, but I did not condone his life either.

The Freepers are claiming that it was actually Obama who was behind this, and will use it as an excuse to crack down on and shut down pro-life groups.

He goes to one every Sunday.  It's his church.

Sigh.

But where can we put this terrorist? Do we really want him in our backyards?

Let's not equate the assassin with an abortionist shall we?

The people responsible are clearly terrorists and should be treated as such.  Perhaps they could be made an example of for all the fundie extremists out there that would brush aside their faith in their thirst for blood.

No... a terrorist because the act was committed with an obvious motive to scare other abortion doctors.

We don't know any motive yet. The guy is still on the run.
