Free Abortions in Honor of Tiller Denounced
as 'Sick'  Operation Rescue is appalled to learn that Philadelphia Women's Center gave away free abortions on Tuesday as a means of "honoring" slain late-term abortionist George Tiller. "There seems to be no comprehension of the value of human life with these people. Killing babies for free to honor someone who was murdered can only be described as sick," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. The abortion clinic told the media that an unspecified number of abortions were done free of charge, but there are no further plans to offer additional free abortions. "There is no such thing as a 'free abortion,'" said Newman. "It costs the life of an innocent baby and puts the woman at risk for increased problems in her life. The loss of each innocent life diminishes us all." Studies show that women who have received abortions are more at risk for problems such as suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental illness. "If the people running that abortion clinic really wanted to help women, they would follow the Tiller family's example and close their clinic for good," said Newman.
