National Education Association Under Fire for Letting Abortion Practitioner Speak

The National Education Association is under fire again for promoting abortion -- this time because it allowed late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller to have a speaking role at its building. The teacher's group allowed the pro-abortion Feminist Majority Foundation to host its young women's leadership conference. Tiller currently faces 19 criminal charges for illegal late abortions and a grand jury investigation into additional illegalities. At the event, members of Students for Life of America took video footage showing the abortion advocates giving Tiller a standing ovation during a slide show with pictures of babies who became victims of abortion.

Jill Stanek, a pro-life nurse whose expose of the practices at a Chicago-area hospital led to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, said she can't understand why the NEA would allow an event promoting abortion. "I'll never understand how the NEA could possibly support aborting its future paychecks," she said.
