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.
Oklahoma House Approves Restrictive Abortion Measure
This week the Oklahoma House passed a bill, which would prohibit a state employee from providing or assisting with an abortion being provided in a public facility if it was not necessary to save the life of the woman. This bill received strong opposition from the state’s two leading medical associations: the Oklahoma State Medical Association and the Oklahoma Osteopathic Association, because their members felt “the legislation impedes on the physician's ability to practice medicine.” The Tulsa World ran an editorial, which states that the bill is aimed at preventing poor women from having abortions, even if their health is threatened by their pregnancies.
