Dr. George Tiller

Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed Sunday morning while serving as an usher at his church in  Witchita ,  Kansas .  Since the 1970s, Dr. Tiller has provided critical abortion and reproductive health care at great personal risk. In doing so, he has saved the lives and futures of countless women and girls across the country.  His murder is a tragedy for his family, friends, and colleagues.  It is also a tragedy for the women who need his care and for the entire community of health care providers and advocates, and for all of us who believe in a woman's right to dignity and self-determination.  Please join us in honoring this great man who truly lived by his motto to "Trust Women."

Join the  Boston community in sharing our grief and celebrating the life of Dr. George Tiller, a true hero for women across the country.

Honor Abortion Provider Doctor George Tiller

 

This following message in quotes (along with some other comments) was left on a March 21, 2009 commentary on the legal defense of Doctor Tiller on my blog after I posted the information there about the murder of Doctor George Tiller on May 31, 2009.

“Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "*Defend Dr. George Tiller!- Free Abortion on Deman...":

Barack Obama should seek punishment against the murderer of Tiller.”

Markin responds: More appropriately, for leftist militants and other progressives, is not the question of whether Barack Obama should seek punishment against the murderer of Doctor Tiller but that we should be actively propagandizing and agitating for the defense of abortion providers and abortion clinics by working class organizations and other interested progressive organizations. Starting right now! No more Doctor Tillers! Defend Abortion Providers! Defend Abortion Clinics!
