>> dr. tiller's father, jack tiller, was a family physician in wichita, kansas. quite renowned. and dr. tiller himself went to medical school. >> he was a flight surgeon in the navy when his parents and his sister and brother-in-law got killed in an airplane accident. >> so, dr. tiller came back to wichita. i think he was going to close the practice, and somehow decided to stay and take over the practice, which was family practice. >> in 2000 dr. tiller is interviewed by the group physicians for reproductive choice and health. he explains what drove him to focus on abortion. >> patients in my practice asked me if i was going to do abortions like my father did. and i was horrified. why would these nice people say that he was scum bag type physician? the women in my father's practice, for whom he did abortions, educated me and taught me that an abortion is a matter of survival for women.
