Dr. George Tiller sacrificed his life to save women's lives. He was one of the very few doctors in North America willing to help women who found out late in pregnancy that their baby would not survive outside the womb, and women whose lives and health were endangered by the pregnancy. For this, he was revered by his patients and the abortion provider community, who called him Saint George. Dr. Tiller lived his favourite mottoes "Trust Women" - and "Attitude Is Everything." He knew that women needed his help, and this gave him the strength and grace to continue his work despite the 30 years of relentless anti-abortion harassment and terrorism directed at him and his clinic.
