The Philly Abortion Giveaway
by Jillian Bandes

The Philadelphia Women’s Center gave away free abortions Tuesday in honor of Dr. George Tiller, the abortionist who was murdered last week by an anti-abortion extremist.

A worker at the clinic said that an unspecified number of free abortions had been performed during the day, but that they had stopped giving them away by late afternoon.

She also said that there had not been free abortion giveaways in the past, and that there were no plans to give any away in the future. Under normal circumstances, abortions would not be au gratis at the clinic.

But they were today, in honor of Dr. Tiller’s “memory and legacy.”

“It’s really sad that they would give away for free without recognizing that in an emotional sense the abortion is very costly,” said Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life.

The giveaway happened on the same day the family of Dr. Tiller announced the closing of his clinic in Wichita, Kansas. The closing means that only two clinics that perform late-term abortions will remain open in the United States.

"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's healthcare needs have been met because of his dedication and service," the family said in the statement. "That is a legacy that will never die. The family will honor Dr. Tiller's memory through private charitable activities."

The family has ensured the privacy of the clinic’s patient records and information.

Katherine Spillar, executive vice president of the group Feminist Majority, told the Los Angeles Times that the clinic’s closing did not represent a setback for the pro-life movement.

"This is not a victory for them,” she said.

You think that's bad. Some goofball had the nerve to compare Tiller with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which (needless to say) did NOT sit well with one of his nieces, Dr. Alveda King.


King niece angry at Tiller-MLK comparison

A comparison made Monday between the assassination of Martin Luther King and the murder of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has one relative of the slain civil rights leader outraged.

Alveda King, a notable pro-life advocate and Martin Luther King's niece, lashed out to The Washington Times about comments made by Dr. Tiller's friend and colleague, Dr. LeRoy Carhart.

"This is the equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated," Dr. Carhart said Monday of the May 31 slaying of one of America's best-known late-term abortion providers. He also said protesters planting crosses was equivalent to actions by the Ku Klux Klan.

"For LeRoy Carhart to mention the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who worked through peaceful and non-violent means, in the same breath with that of George Tiller, whose work ended peace and brought violence to babies in the womb, is offensive beyond belief," she said. "The analogy is just wrong."

Ms. King has called abortion a "racist, genocidal act."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, blacks have a much higher rate of abortions than any other race. In 2000, blacks made up 17 percent of live births but the share of abortion was more than twice that at 36 percent.

In his words Monday, Dr. Carhart also denounced pro-life protesters as hate criminals.

Dr. Carhart also speaks of hate crimes, Ms. King added. I would simply ask him, is it not hateful to regard an entire class of people as non-human because theyre unwanted?

I don’t hold to what happened to Tiller. But, to compare that piece of garbage with Dr. King is a slap in the face, BIG TIME. Dr. King worked to make lives better, not by slicing and hacking them to pieces.
