Abortion foes (Operation Rescue) interested in buying Kansas clinic

Source: AP

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) � The group that tried for years to put slain abortion provider Dr. George Tiller out of business is interested in buying his now-closed clinic in Wichita, its president said, but an attorney for the doctor rejected the idea as a publicity stunt.

Operation Rescue president Troy Newman said that his group has discussed the idea of buying the tan, windowless clinic in east Wichita. He made the comment after the Tiller family announced Tuesday that the clinic would be closed permanently.

"I would love to make an offer on that abortion clinic, and that's some of the discussion that we're having," Newman said in a telephone interview Tuesday from his group's headquarters in Wichita.

Tiller, whose clinic was one of the only facilities in the country that performed third-term abortions, was shot May 31 while serving as an usher at his church. Scott Roeder, a 51-year-old Kansas City, Mo., resident, has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault.

An attorney for Tiller wouldn't discuss the proposal. "I'm just not going to respond to every irreverent publicity stunt or comment by these extremists," said the attorney, Dan Monnat.

1. Sure. $150 million dollars.

Half of which will go immediately to Planned Parenthood, the rest to Tiller's family to pay for the wrongful death lawsuit against you ratfuckers.

2. Why, so they can turn it into a terrorist training camp?

Perhaps they want to make it a shrine to celebrate a victory of terrorism!

If I were in Tiller's family, I would have a huge "FUCK OFF, ASSHOLES" for my reply.

4. Bulldoze it

And turn the land into a park, with a memorial to all women who have lost their lives from botched abortions.

11. They will buy it

If a good tort lawyer can make a wrongful death lawsuit against them stick. They will buy it with every last dollar they have to their name.
