There will be a backlash from the left. They will make every attempt--and much of the MSM will play along--to paint all people who hate abortion, particularly late-term abortion (Dr. Tiller was one of the few high profile doctors who openly performed later-term abortions) as ignorant and murderous, as this perpetrator obviously was.
This heinous act does not represent the vast majority of those on the right who despise abortion and this administration's (Obama's) legislative actions in relation to it.

Also, here is a comment from National Review Online, a stalward conservative publication, with which I agree completely:
Gravely Wicked [Robert P. George]
Whoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing. The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands. No private individual had the right to execute judgment against him. We are a nation of laws. Lawless violence breeds only more lawless violence. Rightly or wrongly, George Tilller was acquitted by a jury of his peers. "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." For the sake of justice and right, the perpetrator of this evil deed must be prosecuted, convicted, and punished. By word and deed, let us teach that violence against abortionists is not the answer to the violence of abortion. Every human life is precious. George Tiller's life was precious. We do not teach the wrongness of taking human life by wrongfully taking a human life. Let our "weapons" in the fight to defend the lives of abortion's tiny victims, be chaste weapons of the spirit.
