Kansas pro-life groups receiving death threats after Tiller's murder
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman
Wichita, Kan., Jun 20, 2009 / 08:00 am (CNA).- Several pro-life groups in Wichita have received death threats after last month’s killing of abortionist George Tiller.
Operation Rescue says they have received various threats over the years, but that number has increased drastically since Tiller’s shooting.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, told The Wichita Eagle that some of the threats have mentioned the pro-life prayer vigil and memorial scheduled for this each day this weekend. Off-duty officers have been hired to help with security at the weekend’s events.
Of the messages received, some have threatened “vengeance” against the pro-life movement, while others specifically targeted Newman and his family.
Although leaders of the pro-life movement have spoken out against the shooting, some abortion supporters have accused the pro-life movement of encouraging the attack on Tiller, one of the few doctors in the country who provided late-term abortions.
