Kansas prison officials charge abortion doctor's killer

WICHITA — The Kansas City man convicted of killing abortion provider George Tiller is now accused of trying to intimidate the woman who reopened his shuttered clinic, prison officials said.

The Kansas Department of Corrections said Tuesday that it filed an administrative charge against inmate Scott Roeder under a prison regulation that prohibits threatening or intimidating anyone. Roeder, 55, is serving a life sentence at the state prison in Lansing for gunning down Tiller, one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers in May 2009 at the physician's Wichita church.

The administrative charge stems from a recorded jailhouse phone call that Dave Leach, an abortion opponent from Des Moines, posted on YouTube last month . In it, Leach is heard saying that if someone shot the new abortion provider like Roeder shot Tiller it would be “a blessing to the babies.” He called reopening the clinic “a gauntlet thrown down, by someone who wants a fight.”

Roeder laughed and agreed with Leach, saying that it was “death-defying” for someone to walk back into that clinic.

They're obsessed to the point of total derangement.

The sad part is, so many will follow them - and cheer when another assault, firebombing, or doctor murder occurs.

Roeder did not immediately respond to an email sent Wednesday to him at the prison by The Associated Press seeking comment.
