  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.

Dr. Tiller's Family Closes Clinic

Today we released the following statement in response to the announcement that the Tiller family will not re-open Women’s Health Care Services, Inc. in Wichita, KS:

For more than 35 years, Women’s Health Care Services, Inc. provided women
from Wichita and around the world with high-quality abortion care. The murder of
our member Dr. George Tiller has been a devastating loss not only for his
family, but for the abortion provider community and the many women who relied on
him for care. We respect the family’s decision to close the clinic, and our
hearts go out to them as they grieve during this very difficult time.

Although Women’s Health Care Services, Inc. will not reopen, our members
remain committed to ensuring that women are able to obtain the abortion care
they need.
