An abortion rights advocate who once worked for slain provider Dr. George Tiller hopes to open a clinic in his hometown of Wichita in 2012.
Julie Burkhart said Friday that the Trust Women political action committee has a medical director for the clinic and is making progress in raising money and finding a site in Wichita. The group expects to need roughly $500,000 to open the clinic.
Burkhart founded Trust Women, which lobbies in several states, including Kansas. She served as Tiller's spokeswoman before his May
2009 murder.
Wichita has had no clinic providing abortions since Tiller's death.
Burkhart said an ongoing legal battle over state regulations for abortion providers complicates her efforts.
Abortion opponents said Burkhart's efforts are credible because of her ties to the abortion rights movement.
