eBay pulls auction for man accused of killing abortion doctor

The auction to raise money for legal defense of Scott Roeder, the man charged with killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller, reportedly went live Sunday night.

KCTV 5 reported that up for auction was a Bible from Shelley Shannon, the convicted clinic bomber/arsonist who shot and wounded Tiller in 1993, and a Catechism signed by Michael Bray.

But the best coverage is from Talking Points Memo, which features a slideshow of the auction items, including the above signed pencil sketch autographed by Roeder.

Talking Points Memo says Roeder wrote this item description for the set of drawings, which had one bid of $50:

His name is Jason Dubrowski and is one of the best artists I’ve seen in here. The drawing of the man and woman at Tiller’s tombstone was done in response to the opinion page depiction which I included. The drawing of the field of babies tombstones with the newspaper headline comments of Obama was done after a Christian newsletter printed this illustration which a lady in Valley Center sent to me. The David and Goliath depiction was my idea. I hope they help get the message out there.

On the David and Goliath sketch, Roeder wrote: “To all you precious prolifers, Thank you for your support!”

The seller of the auction items is “mission.of.life,” Talking Points reports.

As of 10:30 a.m. Monday, the only item up for auction by mission.of.life was an “abortion is murder” bumper sticker. Starting bid is $5.

Talking Points Memo had links (here and here) to the auctions, but they now bring up this message:
