THE WICHITA DIVIDE
The Murder of Dr. George Tiller and the Battle Over Abortion
By Stephen Singular
On May 31, 2009, Scott Roeder walked into a Wichita church, drew a pistol, and shot Dr. George Tiller at point blank range. Tiller, who was the most public practitioner of late-term abortions in America, had been a lightning rod for controversy, regularly referred to in the conservative media as "Tiller, the Baby Killer." Tiller's death was not an isolated act of violence, but a pivotal, public murder in a war that has been raging for decades. It's a war of violently opposing ideologies, encompassing abortion, but also questions of privacy, sexuality, and religion.
THE WICHITA DIVIDE is a gripping look at a cold-blooded act of violence, two men at opposite ideological extremes, and a rift that threatens the fiber of American democracy.

"The Wichita Divide" puts the murder of Dr. George Tiller into a much larger and much more worrisome context. The murder itself was outrageous enough--the cold-blooded shot to the head that killed Dr. Tiller in the sanctuary of his church by a man, Scott Roeder, whose fanatical anti-abortion zeal was so over-the-top that he actually believed he was justified in taking the life of another human being.
