Tiller remembered in Wichita Eagle LTTE for "good things he has done."

[Stevepol]

Under the title "TILLER CARED," the following letter appeared in the Wichita Sunday paper today (6-14-09):

Over the years, there have been so many people wanting to demonize George Tiller that there has been little or no publicity about the good things he has done.

I have known Tiller since he was a sophomore in high school. He was my physician for several years and performed both of my minor surgeries.

Many years ago, I was walking into a local hospital to visit a friend. At the door I encountered Tiller, his wife, and a young lady in a wheelchair. Tiller let the others proceed while he remained at the door with me. He then explained that the young woman was his patient. He had advised her to carry full term. Her parents had kicked her out of the house for getting pregnant. The Tillers took the lady into their home, where she lived until it was time to deliver the baby. This was the day.

Another physician friend told me that the above story was a common occurrence. Tiller himself told me that he adjusted his charges according to what the patient could afford to pay.

1. yeah, but he is a baby killer. of course that is not what anti choice folks

want anyone to hear. giving a girl the option, when her parents don't. It's about choice... giving a woman the choice, and maybe the ability to have that choice... It's sad that such a man is now gone. But, I believe that in heaven he will be rewarded. I imagine those that incited and helped cause his death, however, will find that their 'rewards' for what they have done and continue to do will not be what they think it will be.

2. Tiller Is a Good Man

After the jury acquitted Dr. Tiller recently, the jury members asked to have a message delivered to him. The message, paraphrased, thanked the doctor for providing a clean, safe place for women to get legal abortions.
