Woman
leaves Tiller's by Ambulance –Code Blue
Witnesses
of Incident Being Harassed!!!
On the morning of
January 13th, a woman from George Tiller's clinic was transported to
Wesley Hospital with her condition being reported as “Code Blue.”
The Sidewalk Counselors who were at the scene took pictures and observed
(Sidewalk Counselors are pro-life women who stand outside of the
abortion clinic offering literature and free assistance to the patients
going in).
By medical
definition, “Code Blue” means the patient is being resuscitated and
is in critical condition with no vital signs. The ambulance arrived at
the scene of the “Code Blue” call with neither lights nor sirens on
per the request of abortionist Tiller's staff. The clinic staff that
placed the call to 911 was also extremely evasive with the 911
dispatcher and refused to give basic requested information.
(Operation
Rescue/Operation Save America is able to provide the 911 C.D. and
transcript from this incident at the press conference. Also, pictures
taken at the scene.)
One week after
the above mentioned incident, the city police met with Tiller and
possibly his attorney. According to Wichita city police, Tiller has
demanded that the city suppress the Sidewalk Counselors first amendment
rights by banishing them from part of the public sidewalk where they
have been able to offer help for almost fourteen years. The city police
have agreed to follow Tiller's demands. Subsequently they have warned
and threatened the Sidewalk Counselors who simply offer compassion to
women in crisis pregnancy situations.
I've
been sidewalk counseling for almost 14 years, and I don't intend to be
intimidated by George, his attorney, or the City of Wichita. We've sued
the city and won before, it looks like we're headed that way again.”
Donna Lippoldt – Administrator of Operation Rescue/Operation Save
America
“This
is chilling, to think that the city of Wichita is protecting George
Tiller from people who are representing churches in this community, by
offering alternatives to abortion. We will not succumb to threats by
this city that has treated pro-lifers unfairly for years. Maybe it's
time to bring all the national leaders of Operation Rescue back to
Wichita .” Pastor Mark Hollick
