The Orange County Register reports the death of Dr. George Tiller in the article, “Anti-abortion crusaders jailed in Kansas doctor’s killing.” Dr. Tiller was killed by Scott Roeder, a man who justified his actions because of the late term abortions that Tiller committed throughout his life. Reporter, Roxana Hegeman is sensitive to the fact that a man has been killed however, she often quotes anti-abortionist who do not condemn the murder of Dr. Tiller. She begins the article by discussing Scott Roeder personal background and his pessimistic views on Dr. Tiller. She states how Roeder and others associated “Dr. George Tiller to the Nazi death-camp doctor Josef Mengele.” She then goes on to quote Regina Dinwiddle who proclaims about Dr. Tiller’s death, “I wouldn’t cry for him no more than I would if somebody dropped a rat and killed it.” Hegeman continues to quote another anti-abortionist source Dave Leach, who reports, “Definitely, he will be the hero to thousands of babies who will not be slain because Scott sacrificed everything for them.” Hegeman’s negative coverage in the article through means of anti-abortionist sources and a clever assortment of vocabulary expresses her own views on the death of Geroge Tiller.
Hegeman is right to give both sides of the story and explain to the public how this man who has been publicized as a hero being shot, did indeed commit murder to hundreds of unborn children. It is the media’s role to give both sides of a story and let audience make their opinion form hearing the facts. Hegeman does a great job reporting the tragedy of Dr. Tillers Death.
