We continue to mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller was a dedicated physician who provided quality abortion care to women, at great personal sacrifice and risk. He is truly a hero to his fellow abortion providers and his patients. Dr. Tiller’s office is filled with letters from women, thanking him for the excellent, compassionate care he provided. Many of these women say Dr. Tiller saved their lives.
Since his tragic death, we have received messages from some of his patients and from people around the world who are saddened and outraged. We feel it is important to share these words and tributes to our beloved colleague and friend. For the first time, we will enable comments on our blog so that all of you can share your condolences or offer memories of Dr. Tiller. We invite you to join us in honoring a true American hero, Dr. George Tiller.
Quebec Government Plans to Repay Women For Abortion Fees
The Government of Quebec has established a claims process and will begin paying women who won a class-action lawsuit over supplementary fees they were required to pay for abortions between 1999 and 2006. In August the government was ordered to repay over $13 million to approximately 45,000 women who paid additional fees for their abortion care at private clinics and health centers. The Quebec Superior Court ruled that the women should not have incurred additional charges since abortion is covered under the Quebec Health Insurance Act.
