Scott Roeder, the man who murdered one of few late-term abortion doctors, Dr. George Tiller, was sentence to life in prison Thursday without parole for 50 years, according to the LA Times.
Roeder, 52, was convicted of premeditated murder for shooting Tiller point-blank in the forehead during a Sunday service on May 31 at his Wichita church, according to the LA Times.
Sedqick County District Judge Warren Willbert gave him a longer sentence because Roeder stalked Tiller for years before and shot him at a church, according to the LA Times
According to the Associated Press, the murder has made it markedly harder in Kansas to get an abortion as Tiller's clinic closed and there are just three clinics in the state that offer abortion services to women up to their 21st week of pregnancy.
