Abortion Giveaway in Honor of George Tiller

This is positively ghoulish.

The Philadelphia Women’s Center gave away free abortions today in honor of Dr. George Tiller, the abortionist who was murdered last week by an anti-abortion extremist.

A worker at the clinic said that an unspecified number of abortions had been performed during the day, but that they had stopped giving them away by late afternoon.

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.

What a horrible way to be honored!

I guess given Tiller's legacy it is fitting, but that in itself is horrible.

Babies killed at no cost to the mothers! Woo hoo!

...The giveaway happened on the same day the family of Dr. Tiller announced the closing of his clinic in Wichita, Kansas. The closing means that only two clinics that perform late-term abortions will remain open in the United States.

"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's healthcare needs have been met because of his dedication and service," the family said in the statement. "That is a legacy that will never die. The family will honor Dr. Tiller's memory through private charitable activities."

While I completely disagree with the position Tiller's family takes regarding "women's healthcare needs," they have my sympathy. They have suffered a terrible loss and are mourning the death of their loved one.

I don't want my criticism of this disgusting abortion giveaway and the family's pride in Tiller's "legacy" to be seen as a slam on grieving individuals or as diminishing in any way my disgust at the crime of Tiller being murdered in cold blood.

I just think it's positively horrific to celebrate someone's life by offering to abort lives for free.

How does anyone find comfort in that?

How can that sort of memorial provide any solace and peace?

Mind-boggling.
