Last Sunday Dr. George Tiller was killed while ushering at his church in Kansas. Scott Roeder has been charged with the murder, and appeared in court for the first time Tuesday.
Tiller, an abortion doctor, had been the target of anti-abortion protests for years. One of his more prominent protesters, Randall Terry spoke to students at the Rutherford Institute Wednesday.
"First of all I don't believe that anyone has the right to be judge, jury and executioner so it was wrong," said Terry.
But Terry made national headlines and raised some eyebrows with this comment in reference to the murder.
"George Tiller was a mass murderer, and horrifically he reaped what he sowed," said Terry.
At the institute Terry stood by the comments saying that pro-lifers like himself can't soften their stance even in someone's death.
"He was a mass murderer, he did kill tens of thousands of babies and we must speak of him in death, the same way we spoke of him in life," said Terry.
Some of the students didn't agree with Terry's stances.
"I think that open dialogue is really important and listening to others and wanting to find common ground is really important," said Rutherford Institute student Frances Thunder.
But agreed that he was much different in person.
"It was very different [seeing him in person] from reading his comments on blogs or in newspapers," said Thunder.
Meanwhile Terry says he'll continue to fight as the suspect in Tiller's death awaits his day in court.

Late-term abortions are rare, and it is impossible for one person to have done " tens of thousands" of any type of abortion.
