Remembering Dr. George Tiller, 10 Years After the Abortion Provider Was Assassinated in Kansas
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, a 67-year-old abortion provider who was shot point-blank in the forehead as he attended church services in Wichita, Kansas. He faced constant threats and incidents of violence and vandalism in the decades leading up to his death. The man who assassinated him, anti-choice extremist Scott Roeder, is serving a life sentence. We air a new piece from StoryCorps by Rabbi David Young and cantor Natalie Young, who went to see Dr. Tiller in 2006.
