WICHITA, Kan. - The clinic of slain Kansas abortion provider George Tiller will reopen after a week of mourning.

One of four doctors who performed abortions at Tiller's clinic in Wichita said Monday that its operations will resume next week. Flowers were placed outside and the clinic flag flew at half staff. An anti-abortion group's sign said members prayed for Tiller to change his views but not for his murder.

Dr. LeRoy Carhart, of Bellevue, Neb., has worked at Tiller's clinic for 10 years. He said Tiller set up a rotation schedule with three other doctors so the clinic could continue "whether he is there in person or in spirit."

Tiller attorney Dan Monnat said it is too soon to know the long-term plans of the clinic. He noted that federal marshals are protecting the clinic.
