WICHITA, Kan. AP – The murder of one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions was “a gutless act of terror” and was as destructive as “an earthquake” for women seeking such medical services, the doctor’s friend and attorney said Thursday.
Attorney Lee Thompson asked District Judge Warren Wilbert to give the harshest possible sentence to anti-abortion zealot Scott Roeder, who admitted he gunned down Tiller in the back of Tiller’s Wichita church last May because he felt doing so would protect unborn children.
