The Kansas abortion clinic run by slain doctor George R. Tiller will not reopen, lawyers for the Tiller family announced Tuesday morning.
For decades, the clinic located near a Wichita highway was a haven for women seeking late-term abortions and a target for abortion foes, who vilified clinic staff and patients. As recently as last month, vandals attacked the building.
But, with Tiller dead at the hand of a gunman who confronted him in a church lobby, the family decided the facility's doors will not reopen to patients and the sign will come down.
