Following the murder of Kansas abortionist Dr. George Tiller, his family’s attorneys have announced that his clinic will permanently close. Meanwhile, Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City has urged pro-lifers to defend the unborn by praying for the conversion of abortionists and by realizing that they are not “evil people.”
Lee Thompson and Dan Monnat, attorneys for Tiller's family, said in a statement that Women’s Health Care Services, Inc., will be “permanently closed” effective “immediately,” Fox News reports.
An extremist opponent of abortion murdered Tiller at his Lutheran church on May 31. The crime was swiftly denounced by pro-life leaders.
"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's health care needs have been met because of his dedication and service,” the family’s statement stated, saying Tiller’s legacy “will never die.”
