A woman, according to Kansas law, could claim she needed an abortion because of "mental distress". Tiller, in order to perform one of these procedures would inject a saline solution into the mother's womb. This chemical cocktail would literally burn the child within--before the baby succumbed to suffocation. Then the woman was induced into labor and instructed to sit on something most of us would describe as a toilet. The abortion was completed when the baby was delivered by the mother, who was quickly ushered out of the area, so she wouldn't see the results of Dr. Tiller's labor and what should have been her own. Yes, many pregnancies are terminated in dire medical circumstances. But these represent a tiny fraction of the million-plus abortions that take place in this country every year. (Almost half of that number are repeat abortions; around a quarter are third or fourth procedures.) The same is true of the more than 100,000 abortions that are performed after the first trimester: Very few involve medical complications of any kind. Even the now-outlawed “partial-birth” procedure, which abortion-rights supporters initially argued was only employed in the direst of dire situations, turned out to be used primarily for purely elective abortions.

He was a very brave and caring man. Many of the doctors are caring. Millions of our tax dollars are spent on killing children in other countries in horrific ways. MN is home to one of the larges cluster bomb making companies "Alliant Tech" the tears apart babies and children. Who is trying to execute that CEO or those engineers who make the horrific devices? They can call it colateral damage but it is still a baby and child. wish more on TV would show how many lives Dr Tiller saved and some of the stories behind the abortions.
