WICHITA, Kan. AP – The man who has confessed to killing a high-profile Kansas abortion provider is expected to testify Thursday about his vehement opposition to abortion and what drove him to put a .22-caliber handgun to Dr. George Tiller’s forehead and pull the trigger.
Scott Roeder is likely to repeat for jurors his already public claim that he believed killing Tiller, one of only a few late-term abortion providers in the U.S., was necessary to save the lives of unborn children.
