A coward shot George Tiller dead this morning as he walked into Church.

This is so very wrong on so many very levels.

The shooter is no hero.  He is like unto Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning.

Our condolences to Jeanie and the children.  We wish that George Tiller had enjoyed more time to understand the gravity of our debate.

Here is the breaking news. 

Multiple sources have now confirmed for KAKE News that abortion doctor George Tiller was shot and killed this morning at his church. Authorities were called to a shooting at Reformation Lutheran Church in the 7600 block of E. 13th Street at 10:03 this morning.

Sources close to the investigation and the controversial abortion doctor confirm that George Tiller was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after emergency crews arrived.

The suspect fled the scene and authorities are still investigating. His car is described as a powder blue or light blue Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. He is described as a white male in his 50’s or 60’s, 6′1,” 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

Several church goers have been taken to City Hall for interviews.

Earlier this year, Tiller was acquitted of 19 misdemeanor criminal charges that he did not follow state law when getting a second opinion on late-term abortions. A jury acquitted Tiller of those charges on March 27.

AP updates Sunday afternoon

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The attorney for George Tiller says the late-term abortion provider was shot and killed at his church in Wichita, Kan.

Attorney Dan Monnat says Tiller was shot as he served as an usher during Sunday morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller’s wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.

The clinic run by the 67-year-old doctor has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades.

A protester shot Tiller in both arms in 1993, and his clinic was bombed in 1985.

Capt. Brent Allred said police were looking for a gunman who fled in a 1993 light blue Ford Taurus registered in Merriam.

No other details about the shooting were immediately released.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, a prominent advocate for abortion rights wounded by a protester more than a decade ago, was shot and killed Sunday at his church in Wichita, a city official said.

A City Hall official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak about the case told The Associated Press that the 67-year-old doctor was killed Sunday morning at Reformation Lutheran Church.

Police spokesman Gordon Bassham would not confirm the victim’s identity pending notification of relatives. He said the shooting occurred at 10:03 a.m. and the gunman fled the scene in a 1993 powder blue Ford Taurus registered in another part of the state.

Bassham said no suspects were in custody. He said it is not clear whether one or more suspects were involved.

Capt. Brent Allred said police were looking for a gunman who fled in a 1993 light blue Ford Taurus registered in Merriam.

Anti-abortion group Operation Rescue issued a statement denouncing the shooting.

Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortions. His clinic has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades and he was shot and wounded in both arms by a protester in 1993.

He remained prominent in the news in recent years, in part because of an investigation begun by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, an abortion opponent.

Prosecutors had alleged that Tiller had gotten second opinions from a doctor who was essentially an employee of his, not independent as state law requires, but a jury in March acquitted him of all 19 misdemeanor counts against him.

Abortion opponents also questioned then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ ties to Tiller before the Senate confirmed her this year as U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary. Tiller donated thousands of dollars to Sebelius over the years.

Pharisees can always be recognized be their “do what we say, not what we do” methodology.

Here follows in blue a fine example from the AP:

In the interim, Obama said he expects “rigorous evaluation” of his nominee but added: “What I hope is that we can avoid the political posturing and ideological brinksmanship that has bogged down this process, and Congress, in the past.”

He derided “some in Washington who are attempting to draw old battle lines and playing the usual political games, pulling a few comments out of context to paint a distorted picture of Judge Sotomayor’s record.”

“But I am confident that these efforts will fail,” Obama added, “because Judge Sotomayor’s 17-year record on the bench — hundreds of judicial decisions that every American can read for him or herself — speak far louder than any attack; her record makes clear that she is fair, unbiased and dedicated to the rule of law.”

As a senator, Obama supported a failed attempt by Democrats to stall President George W. Bush’s nomination of Samuel Alito to the high court.

Pastor Matt Trewhella’s Missionaries to the Preborn is one of the most effective groups among the pro-life activists.  Matt is a well thought-out and responsible strategist who should be leading the movement at a national level. 

Here is the MTP’s recent report from the annual gathering of abortionists.  Matt leads his team to call those who reduce God’s greats gifts to so much gristle and coin outside of their annual meeting every year.

God Bless you Matt and the MTP.  This is an ArchAngel Institute salute.

She was raised Catholic, so has a fine deposit of the Faith Once Delivered.  There could be reason to hope.   If revival is now spreading among us, and there is good reason to believe that such is the case, then she could be as bad for Barack Obama as was David Souter for George Bush the Elder.  Click here for that analysis.

That would be fantastic.

Pictured:  Church in the piazza, downtown Ponce, P.R.   Why?  Here is why.

Anne Walker Brown, wife of Bryan Brown, has been a patient and supportive wife since 1994.  Being married to Bryan is a test unto its own, but put on top of that the Left’s ongoing retribution against Bryan for daring to stand up to childkilling and for advancing constitutional governance and it all starts to resemble quite a cross to bear.

Anne was born and raised by faithful Catholic parents in Topeka, Kansas.  She was living her Catholic faith in Wichita when Bryan met her in 1992, the year after he departed Fort Wayne at the insistance of the residents of 827 Webster Street.  (See introduction category for the background)

Bryan often says Anne was the “prettiest sidewalk counselor in Wichita.”  He courted her for two years and married her in 1994. 

Anne has been quiet about ArchAngel and Bryan’s ongoing headwinds in Indiana, not speaking publicly since she defended her husband during the ill fated 2006 election.  That contest pitted Attorney General Phill Kline and Deputy Attorney General Bryan Brown against challenger Paul Morrison (a party switching sexual deviant, see google searches) and then Kansas Governor (now Obama appointee to HHS) Kathleen Sebelius and their moneyman, infamous abortionist George Tiller.  Tiller-Sebelius-Morrison set their phasers on “kill” and effectively ended Brown and Kline’s careers at law in Kansas.

Here is Anne’s letter (in red) defending her husband in the fall of 2006 when the howls of the Left became a cacophony of hatred.  After watching her husband being pilloried on the front pages and in television ads Anne finally was heard.  This is offered  as background to a new letter Anne has released that will be posted on this website in the week to come. 

You’ve all seen the TV ad run by the Morrison campaign about my husband Bryan Brown (Phill Kline’s Consumer Protection Chief with the twelve arrests). The ad intentionally withholds explanation of those arrests, and it’s come to our attention that one newspaper even printed that Bryan is a convicted felon, which is an absolute lie. I’m sending this e-mail out to friends and family for clarification. This is a letter to the editor that Bryan submitted to newspapers across the state, but we don’t know if it will get printed, and even if it does it may be edited down. Please do not hesitate to ask us questions. We welcome any opportunity to get the truth out about this, so please feel free to pass this information on to anyone interested. Love and Peace in Christ, Anne Brown

#2. Many of my arrests ended in not guiltyverdicts as a result of my pre-law school constitutional arguments. A few were settled against no contest pleas. A few were dismissed. Only one resulted in a conviction. Yet District Attorney Paul Morrison cries foul when the merits of a sexual harassment case he lost at the summary judgment stage are discussed.

#3. I am widely criticized for not respecting city ordinances enough due to my arrests. But when I post a report demonstrating that former AG Stovall (whose tobacco litigation reveals the degree to which she valued cronyism over justice) was operating her Consumer Division in a manifestly unconstitutional manner, I am criticized for taking state law too seriously.

#4. My pro-life arrests were a byproduct of my Christian values. Those were formed as I followed the lead of a good many Catholics and Catholic clergy, including Bishops. For those loiterings and trespasses I am roundly criticized by Paul Morrison — who claims to be a leader in the Catholic Church while striking a Faustian bargain with the abortion industry to become the next Attorney General of Kansas.I hope these ironies are not lost on the good people of Kansas

Bryan J. Brown 

 

Postscript:  No Kansas paper printed Brown’s letter in its entirety.  Almost all were in the tank for Morrison and would print nothing bad about him.  Steve Rose’s Johnson County Sun even went to so far as to print out and out lies about Brown, and then issue a vague and meaningless page 10 retraction after the election was lost.  Kline lost the election, Brown was immediately fired by Morrison, Morrison had to step down a year later as a result of a very distubing sex scandal in his office (and even in judges’ chambers), and the Institute was launched in the wake of it all.

Kline is still fighting for his legal life in Kansas, as he likely will be for the next three years or more. 

Being actively pro-life has its benefits, and especially if one enjoys persecution at the hands of the Left.

More on that subject in Anne’s letter to come.

Holy ArchAngels pray for us!!! 

 

 

(Newser) – Students at Notre Dame upset that President Obama will deliver today’s commencement address began an all-night prayer vigil Saturday night, reports AP. Earlier, campus police arrested 19 anti-abortion protesters—none of them students—and charged them with trespassing, notes CNN. The invitation to pro-choice Obama has raised a ruckus at the Catholic school, and some of the more extreme members of the anti-abortion camp plan to make their presence felt at the college.

“The young people have behaved with great dignity,” said the local bishop, John D’Arcy, who won’t be attending Obama’s speech. “They have been firm in their purpose and strong in their purpose, but prayerful. They haven’t followed those who said we’re going to make it a circus,” he said.

Bishop D’ Arcy’s request for a reserved and prayerful response to the shameful act soon taking place at the University of Notre Dame is being rejected, largely by groups led by Protestant pro-lifers.

Some Catholics are indeed joining in, but when the day ends it will be nonCatholics who were the most successful culture war profiteers by going way over the big top in South Bend.

Here is a fine example from a Protestant Evangelical group that now claims to dominate the air space over our Lady’s school:
