...know that he believed in justifiable homicide ... I know he very strongly believed that abortion was murder and that you ought to defend the little ones, both born and unborn." -Regina Dinwiddie, who met Roeder in 1996 while picketing outside the Kansas City Planned Parenthood clinic, Kansas City Star, June...
...ARTISTIC MISHAP?As the first undergraduate residence to be built after the original seven river Houses of the early 1930s under President Lowell, in 1959 Quincy represented a new Harvard, breaking with the Georgian-modeled House system. The current site of Quincy House was formerly occupied by a psychological clinic, Mather Hall—a part of Leverett House—and a row of houses on DeWolfe Street, according to a 1957 Crimson report.

...George Tiller long ago erased the line between his private life and his public cause, turning his Wichita, Kans., clinic into ground zero in the fight over late-term abortions.

In one story widely recounted by antiabortion activists, Tiller's clinic allegedly performed an abortion at six months on a young girl forced by her parents to undergo the procedure. In the hothouse of Kansas abortion politics, Tiller was perpetually in the spotlight, the target of lawsuits and legislative efforts to crack down on late-term abortions. Former Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius, now Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services, always vetoed such attempts. Republicans in the Senate tried to rattle her confirmation hearings by raising the question of Tiller's campaign...
