George Tiller's Abortion Clinic Closes


George Tiller's abortion clinic has closed. The clinic, Women's Health Care Services, Inc., was one of the few in the country to offer late-term abortions. Tiller, of Wichita, Kan., was shot and killed at his church on May 31. Scott Roeder, an anti-abortion activist, is in Sedwick County Jail, awaiting trial. Roeder declared "victory" over the clinic's closing. He has not admitted guilt.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has come out against the killing, saying all human life is sacred and that a pro-life stance does not equate to violence.
