Article #1: Abortion

From the article, Abortion Doctor George Tiller is Killed, the title suggested the death of Doctor George Tiller, and the controversial debate about abortion that has resulted in many violent actions. In this article, authors Robin Abcarian and Nicholas Riccardi describe how Tiller performed abortions for women beyond the 22nd weeks of pregnancy. In other words, Tiller operated on late-term pregnancies for women compared to early abortions. Abcarian and Riccardi also state how much other people despise Tiller by targeting his clinic and Tiller in many ways, including bombing, threatening, shooting Tiller in the arms, but worse of all is killing him during a church service. Most importantly, Tiller's best friend, Warren Hern, emphasizes how inevitable Tiller's death is because of Tiller's willingness to perform late-term abortions for 35 years.

From the death of Tiller, it is clear that many people in America have opposing views, and consequentially can damage many lives. In the article President Obama expresses his point of view about abortion and the death of Tiller. Obama feels outraged that there are people out in this country that would kill others because of different perspectives.

Therefore, I highly recommend everyone to read this article about the death of Doctor Tiller, and understand the controversial issue of abortion at a personal scale. Reading this article can enhance the readers' awareness of how the problem of abortion is escalating nationwide. It is also worth the time to read this article because as citizens of America, we should do something for or against the sudden death of Tiller.
