A list of thirty companies that enable Tiller’s disreputable abortion business is released to the public
Wichita, KS – Today Operation Rescue released the latest list of businesses that help abortionist George R. Tiller continue his questionably legal abortion business.
The project, called the Abortion Collaborators, was first launched in 2004 with a list of over 50 businesses that did work for Tiller’s late-term abortion clinic, Women’s Health Care Services. Since then 25 businesses - 50% - have stopped collaborating with Tiller. Today’s list contains 30 business listings.
This announcement follows on the heels of the decision by two physicians and the Wichita Clinic to stop providing the second signature for Tiller’s post-viability abortions after Operation Rescue reported that Burt Odenheimer and another physician had been secretly seeing Tiller patients. Within hours of Operation Rescue’s announcement, the Wichita Clinic confirmed that the two physicians had volunteered to stop providing that service for Tiller effective immediately.
“This victory underscores the effectiveness of the Abortion Collaborators campaign,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Tiller’s political cronies may be willing to prop up Tiller’s business, but the community proved this week that it is not.”
The purpose of the Abortion Collaborators project is to expose those with dealings with Tiller, so that people of conscience can avoid them and, more importantly, so that members of the community can contact them and ask them to stop participating in the promotion and enabling of abortion. Operation Rescue has re-published an updated booklet explaining the need for the Abortion Collaborators campaign.
“Some attempt to justify these dealings with abortionists as simply a business decision. ‘One has a right to make a living,’ they often say. However, history has clearly spoken on this matter. Throughout time and across the globe it has been considered morally reprehensible to collaborate with those who would callously destroy innocent lives, especially when that collaboration advances the cause of the oppressors,” said OR spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger. “Applying those long established social mores to abortion collaborators, it becomes very clear that one does not morally have the right to make a living off the backs of dead children. The profiteering from innocent bloodshed goes beyond compromise; it is an act of treason against God and man.”
Operation Rescue encourages the public to review the list of Tiller Abortion Collaborators, and as they are led, contact them and ask them to stop doing business with Tiller.

“Abortion Collaborators” articulates just how easily businesses will “sell out” and help kill babies. Kansas must really be going into a state of poverty for businesses to prostitute themselves out to Tiller the Killer.
It’s truly amazing how with what few resources Operation Rescue has that they never fail to find a means of leveraging their “force multipliers” with creativity and innovation. When applied correctly virtue has always been known to conquer vice.
Cardinal virtue: Fortitude; mental and emotional strength in the face of adversity.
“Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason” ~ Francis Bacon
“Courage is the form of every virtue at the testing point” ~ C.S. Lewis
What a wonderful idea. I’m going to see if we can do the same for the two abortion providers here in Montgomery, AL.
hmmm…I had submitted a comment but for some reason it didn’t get posted. my comment was that it is awfully ironic that tiller gives money to a children’s museum, and maybe its to ease his conscience and convince himself he really does like kids….at least the ones he doesn’t kill.
