Doc Wants to Replace Tiller the Killer
Dr. Mila Means, a 55-year-old solo family practitioner with neon red hair and neo-hippie style, doesn't remember how or when she heard thatDr. George Tillerhad been gunned down in his church. She knew him only slightly as their paths crossed in medical circles. Mostly, she knew of him — as the lone abortion provider in a city of nearly 400,000, as a symbol of the country's abortion wars.

Abortion 'Patients' Unhappy With Texas Law
Women seeking abortions at Whole Woman’s Health in south Fort Worth often arrive upset or angry about Texas’ new sonogram law, which began being fully enforced three weeks ago, a health center official says.

A family court judge who ruled that a pregnant woman with schizophrenia should undergo an abortion and be sterilized sharply defended her decision yesterday, while denouncing Boston University for withdrawing what she said was a job offer amid the controversy.
