'Christians' disrupt abortion provider's church service
Two arrested at Wichita church attended by Tiller
The Associated Press

WICHITA | Two men who have been protesting high-profile abortion provider George Tiller outside his clinic were arrested after an altercation at the church he attends, police said.

Henry Shaver, 28, of Flagstaff, Ariz., and Charles J. Cox, 19, of Riverside, Calif., were arrested Sunday outside Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita and charged with disturbance of public worship, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $500 fine.

Wichita police spokesman Gordon Bassham said the men disrupted the service by shouting.

According to anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, Shaver stood at the podium and read a scripture, while Cox gave back his communion bread, saying it represented the babies killed by Tiller.

Bassham said the men were part of anti-abortion group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, which spent the weekend protesting Tiller.

1. I saw an Operation Rescue email which said hundreds of their supporters are pouring into the area
And now they're following him to church?

Tiller needs to watch his back and not touch any funny looking boxes outside his clinic.

6. Tiller was charged with misdemeanors recently
Minor offenses, but they have brought the crazies out of the woodwork.

14. This is terrorism. Abortion is a legal and voluntary medical service.
These people need to be watched closely for specific threats against life and property so they can be charged with terrorism.

4. They better hope that their group doesn't do anything 'wrong'
Attacking the clinic, workers, or the Doctors would be classified as a terror attack.

These kids are acting ballsy. Their bragging afterwards might cause others in their group to want to prove their stuff as well. That could lead to just about anything.

10. Unless and until we show the same willingness to harrass and intimidate
as they do, they'll continue to incite murder and commit acts of terrorism without fear of reprisal.

15. Ah, but being on the 'wrong' side will only get us tossed in the can
or worse. We are not treated equally, under the law or in life. But I agree that we need to turn the tables on those who think they can run our lives.

9. More news you won't hear in the so called liberal media
Kinda like how you didn't hear about Christofascist crazies interrupting the Hindi prayers on Capital Hill last week.

Mustn't upset anyone.

...managed to crawl out of the disposal and plug themselves into life-support, etc.?
