abortionist Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, KS
openly discussing children who “slip out” accidentally during
an abortion and are “born alive” or with a “heartbeat” and
condemned such medical mistakes during the Feminist
Majority Foundation’s annual Women’s Leadership
Conference, held at the National Education
Association (NEA.) Dr. Tiller, who currently faces
19 criminal charges for illegal late-term
abortions in the state of Kansas, stated “If the baby is born
alive, that is sloppy medicine” after addressing the crowd of
about 100 feminists during a plenary session titled “Standing
with our Sisters” on March 9, 2008.
The video reveals Dr.
Tiller showcasing graphic pictures of children with fetal
abnormalities that he aborted to make the case for late-term
abortions as necessary medical procedure. He also
admitted to performing abortions on children the day
before the mother’s due date. Yet when questioned in
a personal interview, Dr. Tiller failed to recognize the
Born Alive Infants Protection Act, a federal bill
signed into law in 2002 that protects born children from
murder and illegalizes infanticide.
When asked about the
Act, Dr. Tiller also admitted, “Let’s say you have 15 or
16, you had one slip out with a heartbeat;
that is not a viable fetus, but that is born alive or has a
heartbeat. Then you have to take that non-viable fetus and
rush it directly to the hospital against the woman’s wishes.”
The conference and
personal interview with Dr. Tiller was videotaped by SFLA’s
Executive Director Kristan Hawkins and Programs Coordinator
Becky Banks.

“What is most
disturbing about this video is the point when Dr. Tiller shows
footage of children he has aborted,” stated Kristan Hawkins,
the Executive Director of Students for Life of
America. “One had an extra arm: could not
that child had survived and received corrective surgery? Was
violently killing the child the only way to go? Pro-lifers are
regularly condemned for displaying pictures of aborted babies,
but here the pro-abortion crowd and the NEA are more than
happy to showcase these graphic images, and even gave Dr.
Tiller’s presentation a standing ovation.”
Becky Banks, SFLA
Programs Coordinator, said “I’m concerned that Dr. Tiller
didn’t know what the federal ban on infanticide is about. A
man who performs thousands of abortions a year should know of
this legislation and realize that any time that ‘something
with a heartbeat slips out,’ the baby is then a protected
person under the law. The question obviously caught him off
guard, because he could not give a straight answer about live
abortions and contradicted his own information in a matter of
minutes, claiming it’s not ever necessary and then explaining
when it is necessary to abort live infants.”
The NEA should consider
the effect their sponsorship has on its more than 3 million
members:
“As a pro-life teacher,
I can say this illustrates why I am no longer a member of the
NEA. The NEA should not be involved in this issue; here they
are hosting this controversial abortionist and his slideshow
of babies he has aborted. There is no way any of my money will
ever be used to advance the radical pro-abortion agenda of
Planned Parenthood and the NEA,” said Marla Mercer, a West
Virginia teacher and former member of the National Education
Association.
