Representatives of Women’s Health Care Services, the infamous late-term abortion mill owned and operated by George Tiller, were in small claims court on Tuesday where they are being sued for using a “stink bomb” to sicken and intimidate sidewalk counselors outside the clinic’s gate. WHCS administrator JoAn Armentrout appeared on behalf of WHCS and was accompanied by security guard John Rayburn. Pro-lifer Mark Gietzen, director of the Kansas Coalition for Life and a driver of Operation Rescue’s Truth Truck, is seeking $4,000 in damages after an incident last September when Rayburn placed a “stink bomb” on the parking lot side of a cedar plank fence directly next to where pro-life supporters usually stand. Gietzen has stated that the “stink bomb” emitted a powerful stench that sickened him and other volunteers, and was used to drive off the pro-lifers after sidewalk counselors had dissuaded a woman from following through with an abortion the previous day. Symptoms from the chemical attac...

Wichita's late - term abortionist "Tiller the Killer" had better "run for cover." He can't run and he can't hide because his crimes have been exposed for all the world to see and we, the people, will no longer ignore nor tolerate these injustices. We are demanding that Tiller be punished for the many crimes he has committed. It's time for Tiller to face the consequences of his behavior. However, this is only a slap on the hand compared to what he will face on judgement day unless he repents now and turns away from his wicked ways.

An update from Operation Rescue about how the Kansas abortion cartel has been under unprecedented pressure from pro-life efforts with national implications Wichita, KS – As Christians prayed for an end to abortion over the past 40 days as a part of the “40 Days For Life” national prayer vigil campaign, God heard and answered prayers in Kansas in amazing ways.

Tiller and his “hired-gun” out-of-state abortionists LeRoy Carhart, Shelley Sella, and Susan Robinson face the uncertainty of whether Tiller’s abortion empire can withstand the scandal of three major legal offenses along with decreasing abortion numbers.

Topeka, KS - The Kansas Supreme Court ruled today that the grand jury called to investigate late-term abortionist George Tiller by over 7,000 citizens of Sedgwick County will be delayed at least until November 16. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman issues the following statement in response to the ruling: Today the Kansas Supreme Court has ruled to ignore Kansas law that gives citizens the right to convene a grand jury to investigate criminal wrong-doing. In doing so, they have become contributors to the crisis in Kansas that has been caused by what we believe to be an out of control abortion industry that operates as if the laws do not apply to them. They have also become enablers to Tiller's illegal abortion ring that continues to take the lives of viable babies in a manner that we believe is contrary to Kansas law. The allegations that the citizens have asked a grand jury to consider, including illegal late term abortions from 2004-2007, have never been fully investigated. T...

Wichita, KS – Operation Rescue has send a letter to Lee Thompson, an attorney who is representing late-term abortionist George R. Tiller, demanding an apology for untrue and potentially slanderous comments he has repeatedly made in the media. Thompson has repeatedly referred the legal effort by citizens to convene a grand jury to investigate Tiller wrongdoing as “vigilantism.” Thompson was most recently quoted in the Wichita Eagle today as saying, “This is a proceeding brought for harassment and in bad faith by the petition gatherers. You approach the level of vigilantism, and I think we see that happening in this instance.” “This comment is nothing more than a vicious attack and patently false accusation against the integrity of the over 7,000 registered voters of Sedgwick County who exercised their citizenship by calling for the grand jury investigation,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman in a letter to Thompson. “Vigilantism is when the people take the laws into their own...

Late - term abortionist George Tiller has his hands full these days - not only is he faced with criminal charges for performing illegal late -term abortions, but he just can't seem to hire and retain help at his Wichita office anymore. Who would have guessed? From Operation Rescue : Tiller published an ad in the Sunday Edition of the Wichita Eagle on July 8, 2007, advertising a clerical position. “Must be Pro-Choice!” the ad emphatically stated. There appeared to be no other qualifications required for the job. It is becoming increasingly harder for Tiller to find new workers,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Now that he is facing 19 criminal counts for illegal abortions, those that work for him must be wondering if they are going down with a sinking ship, and if Tiller’s alleged criminality will implicate them in some way. Anyone new has to be crazy to step into that mess.” Tiller typically employs about a dozen office workers. Operation Rescue has conducted routine ...
