After Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed May 31 as he served as an usher at the Lutheran church he regularly attended, his family announced Tuesday that his clinic, Women's Health Care Services Inc., in Wichita, Kansas will be "permanently closed," according to Associated Press.

Tiller's attorneys released a statement that said his family will cease operation of the clinic and any involvement by family members in similar clinics.

"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's health care needs have been met because of his dedication and service," the family said.

By closing the clinic it lets the crazies know that they have "won" and that their tactics are effective. Where does that leave the women in this country that needed Dr. Tiller's services?
