Dr. George Tiller, a reproductive health physician and medical director of a clinic that performs abortions in Wichita, Kan., was gunned down in his church on Sunday.

The anti-abortion activist who rammed his SUV into a St. Paul Planned Parenthood in January was convicted last week, but the state is seeking to have him permanently committed for mental illness. His family — and other supporters — are decrying that move. In an email, Matthew Derosia’s mother characterized the crash as a “non-violent protest,” stating he was “only doing what God asked him to do.”
