WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A man charged with murdering Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been advocating through mailings from his jail cell that such killings are justifiable. Scott Roeder sent Oregon anti-abortion activist Linda Wolfe a pamphlet that lauds Paul Hill, the convicted murderer of an abortion doctor, as an "American hero," and includes examples of Hill's writings about how it is justifiable to kill abortion doctors. The Rev. Donald Spitz, whose anti-abortion group Army of God celebrates Hill's teachings, says he provided Roeder with seven of the pamphlets upon Roeder's request. Roeder is charged with first-degree murder in the May 31 fatal shooting of Tiller. He is jailed in Sedgwick County jail and was unavailable for comment. The public defender's office representing Roeder did not respond to a message seeking comment.
