WICHITA, February 3, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After numerous complaints from pro-life Americans, the La Quinta Inns corporation discovered that nurses with late-term abortionist George Tiller were in fact renting it hotel rooms to provide medical care for abortion patients undergoing multiple-day procedures at Women’s Health Care Services. La Quinta Inn representative Teresa Ferguson informed Operation Rescue, the pro-life group that has been monitoring the developments, that Tiller was called by the La Quinta corporate office and told to immediately stop the practice, which they had determined to be an illegal one.
Ferguson also informed Operation Rescue that Tiller was told he could no longer use the La Quinta Inn name to promote his abortion business and ordered Tiller to strip the La Quinta name from all of his literature and his website. Operation Rescue investigators will monitor the situation to insure the local hotel is in compliance with corporate wishes.
“Thanks to hundreds of men and women of conscience who called and brought Tiller’s association with the La Quinta to the attention of the corporate office, an end has been put to this apparently illegal arrangement,” said OR president Troy Newman. “We are thankful that the La Quinta Corporation has done the right thing and sent Tiller packing.”
This news comes just days after Operation Rescue broke the story that one of Tiller’s patients died from abortion complications. Because of details that have come to OR concerning the woman’s death, Operation Rescue believes she may have been a guest at the La Quinta.
