Central Women's Services, then called Wichita Family Planning, was the site of demonstrations by abortion opponents in the summer of 1991.An anti-abortion group has bought and closed a Wichita clinic that provided abortions and was a focal point of the massive 1991 demonstrations known as the "Summer of Mercy."

Although it was one of only two clinics offering abortion in Wichita, the closing of Central Women's Services will probably not have much effect on access to the procedure, said Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

"The number of abortions they were able to perform has been pretty small in recent years," Brownlie said.

He said Women's Health Care Services, operated by physician George Tiller, has been the primary abortion provider in Wichita for years.

1. I lived in a nearby small town outside of Wichita

For all my public school years so I got to see the 1991 demonstrations up close and personal. It was total chaos in that part of Wichita.

2. Hopefully they overpaid....

And the people that sold will have enough money to build a larger, more functional facility.
