Pro-Life Activist Says Doctor 'Reaped What He Sowed'

Antiabortion activist Randall Terry today added fuel to the debate over the killing yesterday of a prominent Kansas late-term abortion provider, saying George R. Tiller "was a mass murderer and, horrifically, he reaped what he sowed."

Terry, the founder of Operation Rescue, said today that the pro-life movement bears no responsibility for the slaying of Tiller during Sunday church services in Wichita, Kan. In the wake of Tiller's death, Terry said abortion opponents "have to be confrontational" and "have to use highly-charged rhetoric" to advance their movement.

"The pro-life movement right now is at a crossroads,"

Terry spoke of Tiller in religious terms, saying the doctor will be remembered as "one of the villains of history."

"I grieve for Dr. Tiller because he left this life, perhaps without proper preparation to face God," Terry said.
