Westboro Baptist Church agrees to not protest slain child’s funeral

Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka says church members will skip Thursday’s funeral of Christina Taylor Green in Tucson.

Phelps-Roper says the church decided against the picket in exchange for airtime with 102.1 The Edge in Toronto, Canada, and an interview with KXXT-AM in Phoenix, Ariz. on Saturday morning.
