A RESOLUTION

Condemning the Philadelphia Women's Center for providing free

abortions in honor of the memory of the late Dr. George

Tiller.

WHEREAS, Dr. George Tiller, one of only a few doctors in the

nation to perform abortions late in pregnancy, was shot to death

at his church in Wichita, Kansas; and

WHEREAS, In June 2009, the Philadelphia Women's Center

provided free abortions for one day in honor of the memory of

Dr. Tiller; and

WHEREAS, Attacks on individuals and facilities that provide

abortions to women are reprehensible, are never justifiable and

are vehemently condemned by pro-life organizations across the

nation; and

WHEREAS, Providing free abortions in honor of a slain

individual who was active in providing abortions is equally

reprehensible and never a justifiable response to a heinous

crime; and

WHEREAS, Abortion costs the life of an innocent baby and puts

its mother at risk for increased medical and emotional duress;

therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives condemn the

Philadelphia Women's Center for providing free abortions in

honor of the memory of the late Dr. George Tiller.
