Assassination of George Tiller of violence during a telephone interview with anti-abortion activist David Leach. Tiller's murder inspired an episode of the television legal drama "Law & Order" entitled "Dignity". In that episode, an anti-abortion activist murdered a doctor who performed late-term abortions in New York. The defense said it was a justifiable homicide, since the murderer did it in order to prevent the doctor from performing a late-term abortion upon a specific woman, hence, he did it in defense of another human being. In the end, the jury decided that the defendant was guilty of murder in the first degree. The episode's reception
