I would prefer, personally, to have a challenging, stimulating, and emotionally and spiritually rewarding career that is short, rather than have a long one that is filled with mediocrity, feeling you don't make any difference to people.” The words of Dr. George Tiller, the abortion provider who was murdered four years ago in a Wichita church, open this thought-provoking documentary. In the wake of Tiller's 2009 assassination, only four physicians willing to perform third-trimester abortions remain in the United States. Dr. LeRoy Carhart is an Air Force veteran who opened a clinic in Maryland after legal restrictions drove him from Nebraska and Iowa. Dr. Warren Hern grapples with his desire for a family and the harassment that destroyed his first marriage. Dr. Susan Robinson and Dr. Shelley Sella, who once worked with Dr. Tiller, struggle to balance the needs of their patients with the ethical issues raised by late-term abortion. Through interviews and filmed moments from their professional and personal lives, After Tiller examines the issues and the convictions that drive these physicians to continue to provide late-term abortions in the face of legal restrictions, personal vilification and threats to their physical safety.
