Sorry, but to me, Tiller was a brave doctor providing needed services to women even though his life was in danger doing it every day. The shooter was nothing but a coward.
Your post made me want to take a shower.

What kind of sick person could paint a doctor who performed 60,000 abortions a year and made over a million plus doing it, a brave martyr?

And I'm not even a pro lifer.

So you are talking about Tiller.

What he did was a necessary service to women who needed to terminate due to fetal defect, like the couple in the article below.

The Tiller Murder And Its Ramifications - CBS News

If he did it purely for money, he would have dropped the third trimester abortions instead of risking his life.

Risked his life just going to work every day to provide a service to women in need with doomed pregnancies. Could have made just as much money NOT providing that service, but did anyway, putting himself in danger.

Read the article linked above. Those poor people had to travel to KS from NY just to receive a legal abortion for fetal defect.

Justice has prevailed. He is caught. I hope this person has fun rotting in prison.
The guy who killed him is going to be a martyr for the cause like John Brown was.

60,000 abortions a year, eh? That is a might-y large number I would say. You absolutely sure about that?

Pure B.S. But all the eugenicist nazis will agree with that and paint him a saint the way Sanger painted the Nazis' programs as something to admire.

Plenty of people take greater risks to earn income than Tiller took...for instance, commercial fishermen...for less money than Tiller made.

Comparing people to the nazis is a pretty terrible argument, fyi. It's called Godwin's law. How about actual engaging the argument instead of framing things in moral black and white? What Tiller did is in a gigantic moral grey zone, arguing otherwise is disingenuous..

Yup! Some will consider him a very brave and honorable man.

And what service are those fisherman providing to the public, other than some delicious crab legs? Are people shooting at them for doing their job?

Personally, a woman's health trumps crab legs, IMO.
