Did You Know?

I read an interesting article in the Kansas City Star yesterday about George Tiller and his “formative” years as a doctor.   According to the article, Dr. Tiller’s dad did abortions in the 50’s and the 60’s.  The article mentioned that his dad started doing it out of guilt from not doing an abortion  for a woman who ultimately died.  Then, when his father died he found out about this and eventually Tiller started doing this himself.  He actually intended to close out his father’s practice and become a dermatologist, but, in the end, he kept it open and continued the abortion “service” his dad had provided.  I guess the point is, the article more or less presents Tiller’s start in the abortion business as a response to finding out his dad did it and why he got started.  In the end, it was humanistic compassion that made him think he should serve women by aborting their unwanted children.  Hence, the late term abortions as well.  Women would find out their child would have birth defects, and he would abort them.  Wow, all this from finding out his dad did abortions and never let the family know it.
