There are legitimate reasons to perform late term abortions.

Some people seem to think he is the devil or something.
I was just listening to NPR and the person interviewed was a former nurse with Tiller and now a part of a pro-choice organization(so take it for what you feel it is worth, it is legit IMO). She was basically saying the vast majority of abortions performed were first trimester AND the majority of women were either rape victims or with fetus abnormalities(the mother's life in danger).
Also she made a good point countering those who claim he was in it for the money. This guy could have been a dr. in any other field in any other place, not the in the middle of nowhere. This guy apparently worm a bullet proof vest at most times because he knew his life was in danger. I guess he didn't during his slaying, but still it seems there weren't too many pluses in his line. She said he knew that abortions in certain instances are crucial for women. One of the abortions he performed was a 10 year old rape victim. Do you pro-lifers seriously think that abortion was not needed in that case?
Finally she was clear that he was a good guy but not a saint like the media is portraying him; according to her he was simply a good doctor(helped his patients feel comfortable, etc.).
In general the good guy stuff, etc. could be BS and the entire thing could be a bit bias but serveral news sources have mentioned what I did note in my 2nd paragraph. How can one justify murder, based on their political beliefs? I still don't believe how one can even not feel bad for the guy; that is terrible. I want a response to this post before some of you guys keep on ranting that he deserved it.
