SCRIPTURES
AND QUOTES
Tiller's clinic contains a crematorium where he disposes of the dead babies.
The crematorium sits in the northeast corner of his building. The flat top flue pipe can be seen from the Kellogg Avenue sidewalk.

Under the eaves are two square holes which are the air intakes for the crematorium. Tiller erected the little wood fence to cover the gas pipe that feeds the crematorium.
The crematorium gas line in 1991 before the little wood fence was added. The wood walls were later covered with stucco.
After a day of killing, a bystander on the Kellogg Avenue sidewalk can often hear the whir of the crematorium blowers and see heat rising from the stack. If the wind is right, a bystander can catch the distinctive smell of burning human flesh.
According to Peggy Jarman, Tiller's former lobbiest, Tiller installed the crematorium to prevent Pro-Lifers from displaying dead babies they say were taken from his clinic trash.
From Peggy Jarman's book "Fetus Fanatics"
According to an insider, the babies are kept in a freezer for a while. Then each is placed into a hole in a cinder block inside the crematorium. This keeps the ashes separate. Later, the ashes are mailed to the mothers.

Sometimes Tiller will "save" the dead babies to burn the next day. He does this as an attempt to dishearten Pro-Life picketers. The clinic was closed on January 22, 2005, but Tiller's security guard opened the gate to make it look like the clinic was open. Then he fired up the crematorium. The smell of burning flesh and flakes of black ash greeted the picketers.
In 2002, Tiller's crematorium belched thick smoke.
After being serviced, it doesn't make visible smoke as often.
But on 10 March 2006, the smoke returned.
Pro-Lifers also saw flakes of black ash come off the stack and land on the public sidewalk.
Tiller's crematorium is not regulated as a hospital/ medical/ infectious waste incinerator (HMIWI). It is exempt from these regulations as determined by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. (see letter below)
Neither is Tiller's crematorium licensed by the Kansas Board of Mortuary Arts.

Luhra (Tivis) Warren - a former Tiller employee wrote:
One day, Tiller came up the stairs from the basement, where the mothers were in labor. He was carrying a large cardboard box, and ducked into the employees-only area of the office so that he wouldn't have to walk through the waiting room. He passed behind my desk as I sat working on the computer, and he turned the corner to go around a short hall. He called out for me to come and help him. The box was so big and heavy in his arms that he couldn't get the key into the lock. So I unlocked the door for him, and pushing the door open, I saw very clearly the gleaming metal of the crematorium- a full sized crematorium, just like the ones used in funeral homes. I went back to my computer. I could hear Tiller firing up the gas oven. A few minutes later I could smell burning human flesh. Mine was the agony of a participant, however reluctant, in the act of prenatal infanticide.

Upon inquiry, the webmaster received the following letter from the Kansas Department of Heath and Environment. An image of this letter follows. The letter claims this law exempts Tiller's crematorium from regulation, but the letter doesn't explain exactly which provision within this law allows for the exemption.

Re: Information Request on Medical Waste Incinerators
5101 to 5107 East Kellogg, Wichita, Kansas 67218
Dear Mr. Bxxxx:
Our records indicate that an incinerator is located at the above address. This incinerator is not classified as a Hospital Medical Infectious Waste Incinerator (HMIWI), because it is used to burn material that [is] exempt from regulation under K.A.R. 28-19-729, Standards for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators.
An inspection of this facility was conducted for the department by the Wichita Department of Community Health on March 24, 2003. The inspection found that the facility was in compliance with all applicable requirements.
Concerning the annual emission report you requested, only major emissions sources, those emitting 100 tons or more of a criteria air pollutant, ten (10) tons or more of a single hazardous air pollutant (HAP), or 25 tons or more of a combination of HAPs, are required to file annual emissions reports. The incinerator in question, along with all other incinerators in Kansas do not emit any regulated air pollutants at or above these major source levels.
We appreciate your interest in the air quality program in Kansas. Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any other questions, by phone at (785) 296-1992, or by email at (edited)@kdhe.state.ks.us.
Sincerely,
John S. Ramsey
