Summary
According to Forum columnist Gene Lyons, the murdered Dr. George Tiller was an absolute benefactor to humanity when he ended the lives of about-to-be-born children inches in distance and seconds in time from being delivered from their mothers.

Attempts to hint that his behavior is characteristic of the movement are malicious. Those "gauntlets of screaming demonstrators" Lyons describes in front of abortion clinics are almost always ordinary people of faith who have come to chant prayers in hope of changing minds and hearts.
