  Remembering an American hero: George Tiller

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.

Post your comments, condolences, and personal memories of Dr. Tiller

Federal Judge Delays Clinic Opening in Aurora, IL

Yesterday a federal judge delayed the opening of Planned Parenthood’s new clinic in Aurora, IL pending a hearing on Thursday. The clinic was planning to open today—and had scheduled 13 patients for services—but city officials have refused to issue the permanent occupancy permit to the clinic.

In court yesterday, Planned Parenthood’s attorney said the city was putting extra and unconstitutional hurdles in the path of the clinic. U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle will hear more evidence and make a decision Thursday.
