CMA Condemns Shooting Of Kansas Doctor

The California Medical Association issued the following statement about the tragic shooting of Dr. George Tiller of Kansas: "The killing of Dr. George Tiller is outrageous and appalling, and California physicians join many across the country in sending their condolences and best wishes to Dr. Tiller"s family, colleagues and patients. "Our nation has a long, respectful tradition of establishing public policy through an active democracy and its responsive institutions. To kill, harm or harass any health professional engaged in the legal practice of medicine runs counter to everything our country stands for. "The California Medical Association applauds Kansas authorities for acting quickly and decisively to apprehend the killer and seek justice for this awful crime." The California Medical Association represents more than 35,000 physicians in all modes of practice and specialties. CMA is dedicated to the health of all patients in California.
