The parking lot of Dr. George Tiller's now closed east Wichita clinic was full again Saturday morning as members of the National Organization for Women protested plans for a prayer vigil to be held by pro-life advocates in town from Washington D.C.

Marla Patrick organized the counter-protest.

"To us it seemed like a proverbial dancing on a murdered man's grave and we really took offense to that. The city of Wichita is still grieving."

Across town, Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition and Operation Rescue started his day with a prayer-walk for peace.

"We have come here to pray for healing in this city, to stand against the violence both outside the clinic and inside the clinic."

Mahoney says he decided to move the noon memorial from Tiller's formal clinic to the site of Woman's Health Care Services on East Kellogg when he heard about the counter-protest.

"We're not about confrontation, we're about healing. We're not about hate, we're about healing. So we moved the memorial."

Supporters brought with them thousands of flowers representing the lives they say were lost inside the clinic's walls.

While his organization hopes abortion does not return to Wichita, Mahoney insists it also condemns the murder of George Tiller. But Marla Patrick says she doesn't buy it.

"They claim to come here to pray for Dr. Tiller's family yet cannot do the simple thing of admitting that their rhetoric over the years - their inflammatory words and actions - helped propel an event like this."

Patrick says an abortion provider in Nebraska has plans to bring his services to the Wichita area, however details on when and where that will happen have yet to be released.
