Wichita, Kansas physician, Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers, is facing trial next month on 19 misdemeanor charges. “The charges — which he vigorously disputes – accuse him of aborting viable fetuses without first consulting an independent physician as required by state law.”

Tiller was previously prosecuted by former Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline. Kline’s charges against Tiller were dismissed less than a day after they were filed.

UPDATE: Tiller’s “clinic was bombed in 1986 and blockaded for six weeks in 1991. In 1993, an antiabortion activist shot Tiller through both arms; he was back at work the next day.”
