Scott Roeder, the man who murdered Dr. George Tiller in cold blood last year, is on trial in Kansas for that murder as we speak. Roeder took the stand today and credited Pat Robertson’s “700 Club” with stoking his anti-choice rage:
Roeder testified that he attended church with his family when he was younger, but did not consider himself religious until he had a conversion experience while watching the “700 Club” on television in 1992.
The popular show, hosted by Pat Robertson, airs on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
“I was alone in my room,” Roeder said. “That day I did kneel down and accept Christ as my saviour at that time.”
After that, his views on abortion, which he had always considered wrong, became stronger.
