So you’ve seen “After Tiller”: 5 things you need to know that you won’t find out from the film Over the objections of plenty of taxpayers, PBS – a publicly funded channel – aired “After Tiller” on Labor Day. “After Tiller” is a documentary glorifying the work of four late-term abortionists in the U.S. Day after day, these abortionists willingly take the lives of viable babies, some of them nearly full-term.
