"A prominent US abortion doctor has been shot dead at a church in Wichita, in his home state of Kansas.
Sixty-seven year-old George Tiller was killed just after 1000 (1500 GMT) at the Reformation Lutheran Church. Police say the attacker, a white man, then fled in a car. Local media report that a suspect is now in custody.
Dr Tiller, one of the few US doctors who performed so-called late-term abortions, had been vilified by some anti-abortionists. His clinic had often been the site of demonstrations, and he was shot and wounded by an assailant 16 years ago. Dr Tiller's lawyer, Dan Monnat, said he was gunned down as he served as an usher during a morning service.
George Tiller had survived an attempt on his life 16 years ago.
The shooting comes two weeks after President Barack Obama made a major speech on abortion at one of the main Catholic universities in the US. Correspondents say the president is attempting to defuse the abortion issue - a highly emotive subject in US public life - by arguing that while it should remain legal, the government should do all it can to limit the number of unwanted pregnancies.
But members of the anti-abortion movement have been angered by the president's reversal of restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and for family-planning groups which carry out or facilitate abortions outside the US.
Dr Tiller's killing, however, was swiftly denounced by anti-abortionists. "We denounce vigilantism and the cowardly act that took place this morning," anti-abortion group Operation Rescue said on its website.
A late-term abortion is the termination of a foetus beyond the 20th week of gestation, when it is potentially old enough to survive outside the womb. "
"PRO-LIFE" MY FUCKING ASS.
I want to break stuff right now.
