Dr. Tiller burned dead baby’s bodies in a full sized crematorium in his clinic
Live Action ^ | 9/6/14 | Sarah Terzo

The documentary After Tiller portrayed late-term abortionists in a flattering light, highlighting the tragic stories of women who were carrying dying or disabled unborn babies. Dr. George Tiller, who the documentary is named after, was assassinated by a man who claimed to be “pro-life.” All established pro-life organizations condemned the murder, including Live Action.

But was Dr. Tiller a kind, compassionate hero who relieved women of the burden of carrying dying babies? The reality is far different.

The pro-life group Life Dynamics has a recording of a speech Dr. Tiller made to the National Abortion Federation in which he said:

We have some experience with late terminations; about 10,000 patients between 24 and 36 weeks and something like 800 fetal anomalies between 26 and 36 weeks in the past 5 years.

If only 800 out of 10,000 post-24 week abortions were done on disabled babies, then the vast majority of Tiller’s victims were perfectly healthy children.

One of the youngest premature babies ever to survive, Kenya King, was born at 21 weeks and left the hospital a healthy child. Statistics show that half of babies born at 24 weeks survive if given medical care. By 29 weeks, 92% of children survive. Tiller admitted to performing abortions at 36 weeks – nine months. At this stage, the baby would survive even without medical care.

The medical textbook Essentials of Prenatal Diagnosis by Joe Leigh Simpson, M.D. and Sherman Elias, M.D says, of abortions at or beyond 24 weeks:

The size of the conceptus at this stage in pregnancy [Post 24 weeks gestation] makes D&E technically problematic… Delivery of a fetus after 24 weeks gestation will frequently result in an infant capable of survival…

In a D&E abortion, the child is dismembered with forceps. Because many of the babies that Dr. Tiller killed were so developed, it was too difficult to dismember them. Instead, Tiller would inject the poison digoxin into the baby to kill him or her and ensure that the child would not be born alive. He induced labor and the women, one by one, delivered their dead children.

And what happened to these dead babies after they were expelled from their anesthetized mothers? A former employee of Dr. Tiller, Luhra Tivis, reveals this in her testimony:

I thought I was pro-choice and I was glad to be working in an abortion clinic. I thought I was helping provide a noble service to women in crisis….I was instructed to falsify the age of the babies in medical records. I was required to lie to the mothers over the phone, as they scheduled their appointments, and to tell them that they were not ‘too far along’ Then I had to note, in the records that Dr. Tiller’s needle had successfully pierced the walls of the baby’s heart, injecting the poison what brought death…one day, Dr. Tiller came up the stairs from the basement, where the mothers were in labor. He was carrying a large cardboard box, and ducked into the employees only area of the office so that he wouldn’t have to walk through the waiting room. He passed behind my desk as I sat working on the computer, and he turned the corner to go around a short hall. He called out for me to come and help him. the box was so big and heavy in his arms that he couldn’t get the key into the lock. So I unlocked the door for him, and, pushing the door open, I saw very clearly the gleaming metal of the crematorium- a full sized crematorium, just like the one’s used in funeral homes. I went back to my computer. I could hear Dr. Tiller firing up the gas oven. A few minutes later I could smell burning human flesh. Mine was the agony of a participant, however reluctant, in the act of prenatal infanticide.

In a scene reminiscent of Nazi Germany, Tiller loaded the bodies of dead, fully formed babies into a full sized crematorium in his clinic at the end of every day. According to pro-life demonstrators outside Tiller’s clinic, a chimney releasing the ashes of the aborted babies could often be seen smoking on top of the building.

Dr. George Tiller’s death was not justified. Killing in order to protect life is hypocrisy. One cannot preserve human life by destroying human life. But Dr. Tiller was not a hero, selflessly helping women in the direst circumstances. Whatever his motives, he destroyed healthy babies who were months, weeks, or even days from being born, much the same as the late-term abortionists who were featured in the documentary that bears his name.

Of course they were, abortion is about killing babies and nothing else.

The day Tiller was expunged from the ranks of the living was a great day, IMO.

And I don’t give two sh*ts WHO that offends.

And our local medias treated him like a martyr when he died. Liberals are so sick in the head.

This guy was in no better standing than the headchoppers in ISIS. Between him and Kermit Gosnell, it's very difficult to wrap the human mind around this dark evil.

I have this mental image of the souls of all the babies Tiller killed confronting him as he died.

Wrong. Evil was removed that day.

I can't even imagine living nearby, seeing the smoke and breathing in the air. It's horrible and sickening enough to read about it. It appears that the clinic is still there. It should be destroyed.

Damn right - he was a serial killer with a medical license.

I’m surprised the headline writer considers the method of body disposal is the most important point of the article rather than the heinous act which led to the death of those human babies.

Dr. Tiller was assisted by corrupt politicians, corrupt news media, and the medical board of Kansas. The latter was for a time headed by an abortionist who had lost his medical license. That man was appointed by Kathleen Sebelius, who said, months after the matter was made public, that she “didn't know” he had no medical license. She also “didn't know” it was illegal to spend Kansas tax dollars to honor Dr. Tiller. She also “didn't know” that destroying abortion records was illegal. This all before she was appointed to head Health and Human Services. With records “accidentally” destroyed a la IRS scandal, Tiller was beyond the reach of law enforcement.(This is not to condone his murder.) The news media played interference by ignoring all of the above and pooh-poohing all efforts to bring the many scandals to light.

In the final judgment, Tiller won't be alone where he has gone.

Dear God.

“Dr. George Tiller’s death was not justified. Killing in order to protect life is hypocrisy.”

I think I would only make one modification of this statement:

Dr. George Tiller’s death was not justified. Killing WITHOUT DUE PROCESS in order to protect life is hypocrisy.

“Tiller admitted to performing abortions at 36 weeks – nine months. At this stage, the baby would survive even without medical care.”

Which implies that Tiller had to take active steps to kill the ‘fetus’ before it was pulled out of the mother. Scissors to the head, etc.
