Seven years ago Monday, George Tiller was murdered. It was a horrific tragedy that was roundly condemned by the pro-life community, and rightly so. Being pro-life means respecting and protecting all<\/em> life; violence against anyone, even abortionists, goes against everything that the pro-life movement stands for.<\/p>\n

The murder of George Tiller does not, though, excuse his work as an abortionist while he was alive. And true to form, abortion advocates have spent the last few days\u00a0talking about Tiller as if he was a champion of women. This is stretching the truth, at very best.<\/p>\n

Rewire featured a story on Tiller to commemorate the anniversary, one lauding him as a hero<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Among abortion rights supporters, and especially among his colleagues in the close-knit abortion provider community, Dr. Tiller was a beloved hero, legendary for the kindness and compassion he extended to desperate women who came to him from all over the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This post also pushed the false narrative<\/a> that late-term abortions are performed mostly out of medical necessity or because of fetal abnormalities.<\/p>\n

Glamour used the anniversary to spread the narrative that pro-lifers are violent and angry<\/a>. Planned Parenthood also took the opportunity to use his death as a means to further their own agenda, boasting of how they’re carrying on his “noble” work:<\/p>\n
