Three years after Bill O'Reilly had Dr. George Tiller murdered, Kansas abortion clinic is back

In the three years since abortion provider George Tiller was murdered, his clinic has sat empty, and his murderer’s gleeful declaration, “I stopped abortion in Wichita,” has remained technically true. But Julie Burkhart, who used to run Tiller’s political action committee and has purchased the building to open up what will be Wichita’s lone clinic, doesn’t want to dwell on that too much.

“We’ll get into playing their game,” said Burkhart from Wichita, which has been ground zero for the abortion battle since the 1991 Summer of Mercy, when the antiabortion group Operation Rescue set up camp there. “Women cannot be intimidated or bullied to the point where we’re going to go off and be these good little girls and sit in the corner and wait until our name is called. Women have a right to this healthcare, and so I think that we do have to stand up to people who are small-minded and want to oppress us.”
