It’s tragic that a Kansas physician, Dr. George Tiller, was murdered while ushering at church this morning by a terrorist (yes, a terrorist. When you kill a person in hopes of intimidating and striking fear in an entire group of people, it’s terrorism). It’s crazy to me that anyone who claims to be “pro-life” would take a life in this way. Also crazy to me is that media outlets including the AP continue to refer to him as “late term abortion provider George Tiller.” Really? Which one aspect of Jon’s profession should I choose to refer to him by? “Lumbar puncturer Jon [Bufflo]?” Maybe “Lung sounds listener Jon [Bufflo]?” No, accurately, it’s “pediatrician Jon [Bufflo].” George Tiller was an OB/Gyn. Who sometimes performed “late term abortions” in the course of his care for his patients. To refer to him as “late term abortion provider George Tiller” is to further inflame the divisions that caused this tragedy in the first place, and it’s bad journalism.
