He was performing legal abortions, Dave. So, Koan was right, and you are WRONG.

Now, man up and apologize.

George Richard Tiller, MD (August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009) [3] was an Americanphysician from Wichita, Kansas. He gained national attention as the medical directorof Women's Health Care Services, one of only three clinics nationwide to provide late-term abortions at the time. [4]

During his tenure with the center, which began in 1975 and continued the medical practice of his father, Tiller was frequently targeted with protest and violence by anti-abortion groups and individuals. After his clinic was firebombed in 1986, Tiller was shot in both arms by anti-abortion activist Shelley Shannon in 1993. On May 31, 2009, Tiller was shot through the eye and killed by anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder, as Tiller served as an usher during the Sunday morning service at his church in Wichita. Roeder was convicted of murder on January 29, 2010, and sentenced to life imprisonment.

GOP candidates show signs of retreat on full Obamacare repeal as midterms approach

washingtonpost.com

Steve Dykes/AP - Dr. Monica Wehby greets supporters at the headquarters in Oregon City, Oregon after winning the Oregon Republican primary race for Senate on May. 20, 2014. Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon, has said she backs some portions of the Affordable Care Act, including the ban on discriminating against consumers on the basis of preexisting conditions and the provision allowing parents to keep their children on

Republican candidates have begun to retreat in recent weeks from their all-out assault on the Affordable Care Act in favor of a more piecemeal approach, suggesting they would preserve some aspects of the law while jettisoning others.

The changing tactics signal that the health-care law — while still unpopular with voters overall — may no longer be the lone rallying cry for Republicans seeking to defeat Democrats in this year’s midterm elections.
