Hard to imagine that your funding would dry up after a member is arrested for cold blooded murder.
TOPEKA — The anti-abortion group Operation Rescue may need a little rescuing itself.
The Wichita-based organization, which dogged abortion provider George Tiller for years before his murder last spring, is "completely out of money," according to a letter President Troy Newman sent to potential donors this week.

"We ate right through our savings and we laid several people off and cut back on a lot of projects," Newman said. "We're one month away from closing our doors."
The group lost its main opponent when Tiller was gunned down in Wichita on May 31. The group had focused its anti-abortion campaigns on Tiller for years, even relocating from California to Wichita in 2002 because it was home to Tiller's late-term abortion clinic.
