Fellow abortionists are honoring an Ohio abortionist who has been investigated over the death of a woman during a late-term abortion.

Abortionist Lisa Perriera will receive the “Tiller Award” by the organization Physicians For Reproductive Health.  The group gives two awards annually to abortionists. The first is the Rashbaum award, given in honor of William Rashbaum who “trained hundreds of medical students, residents and doctors” in the practice of abortion.

The Tiller Award is given in honor of the late George Tiller who burned the bodies of aborted babies in an on-site incinerator.  This award “recognizes a physician early in their career who provides abortions while demonstrating leadership and courage, even in the face of adversity.”

Perriera had been under a spotlight this year after a woman died following a late-term abortion at her clinic.  Lakisha Wilson, 22, went into cardiac arrest on March 21, 2014 at the clinic and was pronounced brain dead at a local hospital.  She was kept alive for a week on machines until her organs could be donated.

The Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Medical Board both said complaints against the abortionist for her role in the woman’s death were “unsubstantiated.”  The state attorney’s office did not take action on a criminal complaint.

Pro-life groups are not staying silent about abortionists celebrating their practices.

“Clearly, the Physicians for Reproductive Choice are engaged in a public relations campaign to make Perriera appear to be the victim when the truth is that she is the victimizer,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue. “The true victims are her dead patient, a dead viable baby that Ohio laws should have protected, Wilson’s motherless son, and her grieving family.”

“These despicable actions reveal how abortion groups are more concerned about protecting their dwindling number of abortionists than they are about the lives of the women they falsely purport to serve,” he added to Christian News.
