Remember, he performed late-term abortions which are generally illegal.
He was, in fact, tried for violating various laws. Yes, he was found not guilty in criminal court, but there were still cases pending before the state Medical Board at the time of his death and action very well could have been taken against his medical license.

Scott P. Roeder, 51, of Merriam, was arrested on Interstate 35 near Gardner nearly four hours after Tiller was shot to death just after 10 a.m. in the lobby of Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita. Roeder was a member of an anti-government group in the 1990s and a staunch abortion opponent.
Quote:
In the rear window of the car that Roeder was driving when police stopped him was a red rose — a symbol that is often used by abortion opponents. On the rear of his car was a Christian fish symbol with the word “Jesus” inside.
Those who know Roeder told The Kansas City Star that he believed killing abortion doctors was an act of justifiable homicide.
“I know that he believed in justifiable homicide,” said Regina Dinwiddie, a Kansas City abortion opponent who made headlines in 1995 when a federal judge ordered her to stop using a bullhorn within 500 feet of any abortion clinic. “I know he very strongly believed that abortion was murder and that you ought to defend the little ones, both born and unborn.”

The first thing I thought was "what goes around comes around." This isn't even some run-of-the-mill abortion "doctor" (I'm not a fan of any of them), but a notorious late-term abortion "doctor" that has been suspected of performing late-term abortions outside of the law.
Murdering him was not right, but I can't say I'm feeling any pain for Tiller.

Like saying good riddance to the doctor and justifying murder.
Actually, for many people murder is acceptable, it just depends on who is murdered, doesn't it?
What I seem to see is that the "right to life until birth" ers are usually supporters of the death penalty.
So few of them are vegetarian, either.
All on their terms.
