Doctor`s murderer convicted, fast Scott Roeder, who shot and killed Dr. George Tiller while he attended his Witchita church, portrayed himself as a holy warrior, bent on saving the lives of the unborn. Tiller was a well-known -- and therefore constantly harassed and threatened -- provider of abortions in Kansas. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled nearly four decades ago that women have the right to a safe and legal abortion -- an about-face from years of back-alley abortionists, the secret "old wives` tales" inspired poisonings and self-mutilation using sharp objects, from broken soda bottles to wire hangers. Women emerged from that nightmare, thanks to a court that rightfully saw it as a private matter. In essence:... Birders gather to watch S.
