"Tiller the Baby Killer."That's how Fox News host Bill O'Reilly referred to Dr. George Tiller who was murdered in cold blood Sunday while he attended church.
Tiller's crime? He provided healthcare to women. Including abortion.
Salon.com reports that Fox's "O'Reilly Factor" has featured attacks on Dr. Tiller on no less than 28 episodes:
He's guilty of "Nazi stuff," said O'Reilly on June 8, 2005; a moral equivalent to NAMBLA and al-Qaida, he suggested on March 15, 2006. "This is the kind of stuff happened in Mao's China, Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union," said O'Reilly on Nov. 9, 2006.
What happened Sunday is an utter shame. And it might not have happened if it wasn't for the hate mongering of Bill O'Reilly and others.
There are two things you can do.
1. Sign our petition to Bill O'Reilly. Tell him to take responsibility for creating an atmosphere in which the assassination of Dr. George Tiller comes as no surprise. And ask him to pledge to stop spreading the hateful rhetoric that encourages violence against doctors who provide reproductive healthcare for women.
2. Make a donation to Medical Students for Choice in honor of Dr. George Tiller. We must lift up a new generation of doctors who are willing and able to provide reproductive healthcare to women. Click here to make a donation today.
In O'Reilly's own chilling words:
"No question Dr. Tiller has blood on his hands. But now so does Governor Sebelius. She is not fit to serve. Nor is any Kansas politician who supports Tiller's business of destruction. I wouldn't want to be these people if there is a Judgment Day. I just -- you know ... Kansas is a great state, but this is a disgrace upon everyone who lives in Kansas. Is it not?"
