Outrage and Sadness

I am very upset and angry about abortion provider Dr. George Tiller's assassination. He was a hero for women's reproductive rights and health, a hero to abortion providers across the country, and a warm and caring soul. The hypocrisy of his being gunned down by an anti-choice nut job is just overwhelming. I don't even know what to say beyond that other than I have the utmost respect and gratitude for doctors who provide this vital service to women across the country and the world. There are fewer and fewer of them, and their targeting is abominable.

I hope to attend vigils in the Bay area should they materialize. If you want to send a note to his family expressing your support and condolences, visit the Feminist Majority Foundation action alert page.
