Tiller’s Clinic to Close

A week after Dr. George Tiller was assassinated in church, his family has announced that the clinic that he ran, which was one of the few in the country to provide late-term abortions, will be “permanently closed.” According to the Associated Press, “The Tiller family says in a statement released by his attorneys on Tuesday that it is ceasing operation of the clinic and any involvement by family members in any other similar clinic.” The family said that it is proud of the “service and courage shown by our husband and father.”
