Man who killed Tiller admits making at least $1000 in donations to Operation Rescue
Man accused in Tiller slaying foresees a long time in prison
By JUDY L. THOMAS
The Kansas City Star

The Kansas City man charged with killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller said in an interview he was angry at a major anti-abortion group that he thought had abandoned him.

Scott Roeder also said from jail that he was elated that Tiller was deadand that he knew he could be going to prison for decades.

He talked about his whereabouts on the day of his arrest, including plans he had made to pick up goat milk and cheese at a farm west of Kansas City.

The Kansas City Star interviewed Roeder three times in recent weeks, including once at the Sedgwick County Jail.

In a phone interview Friday, Roeder said he was upset at the president of Operation Rescue, Troy Newman, who had condemned the killing and said his organization had nothing to do with Roeder.

“He said that I never was a member and I never contributed any money,” Roeder said. “Well, my gosh, I’ve got probably a thousand dollars worth of receipts, at least, from the money I’ve donated to him.”

Read the whole article. It's chilling. OR is now backpedaling by disowning Roeder and jumping on the 'we don't want govt health care because they will abort more babies' bandwagon.

I know people involved for years here in KS in the pro choice movement who say it was common knowledge that Roeder was not only one of the OR groupies but also likely encouraged to murder Dr Tiller. He was a regular at clinic protests here, which have been stepped up since the murder. You would think these fools would be keeping a low profile but they are doing just the opposite.

2. Well, "my gosh" at least he's a humble, religious man
who doesn't take the Lord's name in vain.
