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.
Idaho Governor Signs Parental Consent Law
This week Idaho Governor Butch Otter signed a bill into law requiring parental consent before minors in the state can obtain abortion care. The law is effective immediately and does allow a minor the option to seek judicial bypass in cases of rape, incest, a medical emergency, or if a minor is mature enough to decide on her own. Idaho’s previous parental consent laws have been ruled unconstitutional in court challenges.
