NARAL Pro-Choice America's Statement on the Closure of Women's Health Care Services, Inc.

Here is the statement from Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, in response to the permanent closing of Dr. George Tiller's clinic, the Women's Health Care Services, Inc.:

Our thoughts are with the Tiller family. I can't imagine the pain they are going through at this time. It is a sad day for our country when family members who stood by their husband and father as he endured countless anti-choice attacks are forced as a result of his murder to make a decision like this one. What happened to Dr. Tiller is part of an ongoing pattern of extreme anti-choice violence and intimidation that seeks, by any means necessary, to deny women access to the safe, legal abortion care they need. This use of inflammatory rhetoric and acts of violence must stop.
