From the CIRTL Board of Directors

CIRTL Official Statement on Death of Dr George Tiller

The Central Illinois Right to Life board of directors is committed to a peaceful end of the practice of abortion. We are dedicated to accomplishing this goal through fervent prayer, lawful civic actions, and supporting pro-life legislative efforts in Illinois and in Washington, D.C.

While CIRTL opposes what George Tiller stood for as a doctor specializing in the performance of late-term abortions, we also vehemently oppose the un-Christian and illegal actions that brought about his death. The pro-life position is one of life and light, not death and darkness.

We pray for comfort for George Tiller's family and friends as they deal with this tragedy, just as we pray for an end to all abortions.
