Dr. George Tiller began providing abortion care in 1973, as soon as it was legal in Kansas, and continued to do so until his death. He endured constant picketing of his clinic and home, vandalism, baseless lawsuits. In 1993, he survived being shot by an anti-abortion would-be assassin. He gave compassionate care to thousands of women, and mentored colleagues and medical students, and was a source of last resort for women with fetal/maternal complications in his Wichita, Kansas clinic.

The anti-abortion movement, from its origins in the 1970's, through the clinic-bombing 1980's, and the murderous attacks of the 1990's, has successfully shrunk the ranks of doctors and hospitals who are willing to provide abortions. Tiller will not be easily replaceable as a physician and highly skilled teacher. Read more
