Operation Rescue may buy Tiller's closed clinic

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The group that tried for years to put slain abortion provider Dr. George Tiller out of business is interested in buying his now-closed clinic in Wichita, its president said.

Operation Rescue president Troy Newman said that his group has discussed the idea of buying the tan, windowless clinic in east Wichita. He made the comment after the Tiller family announced that the clinic would be closed permanently.

Operation Rescue was founded in the 1980s by Randall Terry, who led the “Summer of Mercy” effort. Terry stopped using the Operation Rescue name because of multiple lawsuits. He and Newman are engaged in a legal dispute over who has the right to use the name.

Newman moved to Wichita in 2002 and brought his anti-abortion group from California to wage an aggressive campaign to shut down Tiller’s clinic.

“We would love to see that place established as a center for life, one that nurtures and cares for babies, rather than taking their lives,” Newman said of Tiller’s former clinic.
