Abortion Business in Philadelphia Gives Away Free Abortions Honoring George Tiller
Philadelphia, PA (LifeNews.com) -- An abortion business in Pennsylvania is drawing criticism or giving away free abortions on Tuesday in honor of slain late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller. The Philadelphia Women's Center said the free abortions were meant to show appreciation for Tiller, who was allegedly killed by extremist gunman Scott Roeder. Town Hall columnist Jillian Bandes said a staff member at the abortion center said an unspecified number of free abortions were done yesterday for Tiller's "memory and legacy." However, by the end of the day, the center stopped doing free abortions and indicated it wouldn't likely do it again. "She also said that there had not been free abortion giveaways in the past, and that there were no plans to give any away in the future. Under normal circumstances, abortions would not be au gratis at the clinic," Bandes writes. Bandes quoted Charmaine Yoest, the head of Americans United for Life, as condemning the free abortion idea. "It's really sad that they would give away for free without recognizing that in an emotional sense the abortion is very costly," she said. Ref. Source 4
