Nebraska abortion doctor plans to expand because of Tiller's slaying

[proud2BlibKansan]

OMAHA, Neb. | An abortion doctor said Friday that he probably will perform more late-term procedures at his Nebraska practice to meet the demand left when a Kansas physician was shot and killed earlier this year.

The move could solidify Nebraska's and LeRoy Carhart's place at the center of the fight over abortion because he's trying to offer the late-term procedures his friend George Tiller offered in Wichita before his death.

Carhart has considered opening a clinic in Kansas but said he thinks expanding his practice in the Omaha suburbs may be the best option because it is easier for patients to get flights into Omaha than Wichita.

He said his lawyers have told him he's not breaking state law by performing late-term abortions in Nebraska, but he hasn't made a final decision on the clinic's future.

"We have not given up on the plan," Carhart said. "But we feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to do everything in Nebraska that we could do in Kansas."
