Abortion Practitioner [Tiller] Who Killed Girl in Failed Abortion Hits Pro-Lifer With Car
LifeNews.com ^ | April 6, 2006 | Steven Ertelt

A Kansas late-term abortion practitioner who killed a 19 year-old girl in a botched abortion last year has allegedly run over a pro-life person with his car who was praying outside his abortion business.

George Tiller, who may soon find himself subject to a grand jury investigation, apparently struck the protester with his vehicle yesterday. According to eyewitnesses, Tiller was leaving his Women’s Health Care Services (WHCS) abortion facility Wednesday afternoon, when he sped out of the parking lot and struck pro-life advocate Mark Geitzen in the leg.

In a statement provided to LifeNews.com, Geitzen said he was hit in the leg by Tiller's speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee and placed his hands on Tiller's vehicle to push himself further away to avoid being run over.

“I was measuring the driveway to insure that pro-lifers were complying with the law during their prayer times when I heard an engine rev," Geitzen explained.

"I turned to see Tiller coming right at me,” Geitzen said. “In that moment I couldn't decide to jump to the right or to the left. I was kind of like a deer caught in the headlights.”

Eyewitnesses said Tiller immediately fled the scene. Geitzen has filed a complaint with the Wichita Police Department.

Geitzen said he was not injured in the incident but feels some pain in his right leg. Another man who was with Geitzen at the time was not involved in the hit and run.

Geitzen indicated he was not blocking the exit and that Tiller had plenty of room to drive around him, as there is room for two vehicles to enter and leave the abortion facility parking lot exit at any time.

“There is no doubt that he intentionally hit me,” he said. “He drove right down the center of the driveway.”

Geitzen is the president of the Kansas Coalition for Life, a group that is part of a coalition of pro-life organizations working with the family of mentally disabled teenager Christin Gilbert to have a grand jury look into her abortion death.

Gilbert died after a third-trimester abortion in January 2005, done by Tiller at is abortion business. She was 28 weeks pregnant at the time.

Gilbert was rushed into the Wesley Medical Center ER, followed by Tiller moments later. In November, the Kansas Board of Healing Arts claimed neither he nor his staff were responsible for the botched abortion death and refused to press charges.

Gilbert's family, with the help of pro-life groups, are planning to file thousands of petitions on Friday asking the county court to call for a grand jury investigation into the abortion death.

He probably just considered it an attempt at a really, really, really late term abortion.

It appears as if killing is not only his occupation but his pastime as well.

Don't know the circumstances, of course, but there is no doubt than abortionists like Tiller allow predators to remain secret and prey again on innocent young girls, disabled or not.

On the Kansas Physician Li censure Board website (http://www.docboard.org/ks/df/kssearch.htm),his specialty is listed as "family practice".

Family-abridgement practice, that is.

If he got close enough to 'brush' past him with a moving vehicle, he got close enough to hit him. Either way, it was clear he intended to do bodily harm.

And he'll probably cite Stenberg v. Carhart in his defense.

"She was 28 weeks pregnant at the time."

At 28 weeks, I have video of my first daughter acting exactly how she acted during the whole first year of her life. That's wild, since she apparently wasn't even alive.

For those who don't know or may be lurking, George Tiller has been doing late term abortions for many, many years....

This baby was 28 weeks gestation....

..my own granddaughter was born just a little over 28 weeks...weighed in at 2lbs.9oz.....

..perfectly healthy in every way ....did not even need a respirator!...

..Today, at 16 months, she is totally caught up in weight, height, developmentally, etc....and is a delight, joy to us all!!!!--an absolutely beautiful toddler.

George Tiller's profession is killing babies who would/could survive outside the womb.

He is a monster, without conscience.

Christin's story reveals much about the tender mercies of Tiller and his abortuary.

More likely the protester jumped in front of him.

And you base this assumption on.........?

My... what an interesting take on events you were not there to witness... nor know the character of either of the parties involved

Most pro life demonstrators who pray outside America's abortatoriums, are Christians..and as such are admonished not to lie or to sue

If he is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth the 'doctor' (and I use the term loosely) is guilty of what in our country we call a 'hit an run'...

The MSM no doubt will portray the Pro Life advocate in a negative light...calling him a faker, law suit happy, and the 'doctor' a real humanitarian..

Those who hate God will also hate His people

By their 'fruits' you will know them- Matt 7:16

If the abortion provider is found guilty...at the very least should apologize for trying to 'abort' the protester and at the very least...pay for any therapy his victim might need in the future for injuries sustained

Perhaps God Himself is pricking the conscience of that man and after killing the young pregnant girl...he now finds his once comfortable life increasingly more difficult to manage mentally..

He would not be the first tormented soul who once provided abortions for young 'mothers to be'...who God brought to repentance and who subsequently joined the ranks of the pro life movement

These kinds of testimonies are often very powerful...one our greatest adversary (the devil),his rebellious clan and human comrades would go at great lengths to prevent

The doc needs prayer right now and bigtime

Those who hate God love death - Proverbs 8:36

George Tiller's profession is killing babies who would/could survive outside the womb.

He also has a full-size mortuary crematorium in his death factory for disposing of the bodies of his young victims.

The only thing he's lacking is a neatly pressed black uniform, jackboots, a railroad platform where he can perform "selections" for "special handling," and a nice wrought-iron "Arbeit macht Frei" over the front door.

The Führer would be so proud.

Sadly, I have seen Christian anti-abortion activists lie, or fudge, or slant, when they think it would do good.

Surely we should have the courage to follow the Truth Himself.

And in this particular case, I'm pretty sure that there is a legal order keeping protestors entirely off clinic property, and Geitzen had no business "measuring" in the driveway.

"Tiller the Killer" is moving up to using vehicles. Maybe he wants to try hitting pregnant women to see if he can induce an abortion.

Christin's story is tragic... but one thing I couldn't wrap my brain around is that her family members are the ones who turned her over to his "care." At 28 weeks, wouldn't it have been a better idea to do some ultrasounds or testing to get a good genetic picture of the child, then wait for a natural delivery, and opt for adoption if the mother is not able to care for the child? I can't see where patronizing this abortionist was the only option, and had they used another option, she likely wouldn't be dead, and certainly wouldn't have sufferred at the hands of such a quack.

So, a guy who kills people for a living runs over some guy who has never killed anyone.

And the victim of the vehicular assault is the perp.

Uh huh.

The difference between Mengele and Tiller is that Mengele was a physician butcher who had proved his personal courage on the battlefield (note the Iron Cross First Class on his tunic) Tiller is a physician butcher who has also proved his physical cowardice.

I doubt very much that Kansas laws permit anyone to hit an unarmed trespasser on their property with a motor vehicle.

"The MSM no doubt will portray the Pro Life advocate in a negative light..."

So far this isn't covered anywhere except on pro-life sites. Some will take that to mean the MSM wants to cover it up, and some will take it to mean the PL sites are hyping a non-event.

This fiend even provides post-abortion "Remembrances" services to his clients, on site. They can even have their murdered baby "baptized".

I have picketed killing centers for well over 10 years. I have never seen a pro-lifer jump out in front of a car going or coming from the kc, but, I have many, many times been close to being run over by a worker or patron of the kc. I was never, never blocking anyone. Often they will go up on the grass to attempt to scare me or even in some cases to actually hit me. Thank The LORD they have not succeeded. When you are at a kc you are at a place where people are murdering people and you have to be on guard that it won't be you.
