Tiller murder: Public policy by bullet

Kansas City Star Tuesday editorial

One of the great tragedies of the murder of Wichita doctor George Tiller is that it enables public policy to be shaped by a bullet.

Proponents note the desperate circumstances of women who seek them. The vast majority of Tiller’s patients were carrying fetuses with severe abnormalities, those familiar with the business said.

“It’s heartbreaking,” said Peggy Bowman, one of Tiller’s former employees. “Almost all of these families have set up the nursery. They’re ecstatic about being pregnant and then they get that awful news.”
