our show tonight is dedicated to dr. george tiller.
on sun., may 31, 2009, dr. george tiller, an abortion provider in wichita, kansas, was assassinated while attending church. while this self-righteous gunman no doubt thinks that he did the world a service, he killed a good man and he sentenced women in this country and in other countries to death as a result of his actions.
dr. tiller is one of the few abortion doctors in the united states who performs late-term abortions. he did this despite domestic terrorists trying to thwart his every move.
over the years:
* dr. tiller was shot in both arms in a failed assassination attempt
* his clinic was bombed
* anti-choice activists relocated to kansas for the sole purpose of harassing dr. tiller and his staff
* he was taken to court, including being subjected to grand jury investigations--in an attempt to discredit the legitimacy of his practice--none of these were successful
* his life was always under threat, always
throughout it all, dr. tiller stood strong. despite being shot in both arms in 1993, he went to work the following day.
why? because dr. tiller knew what was at stake: women's lives. when women/girls can't get or afford safe abortions, they do what they think they need to do and that sometimes results in women dying. dr. tiller knew that.
we mourn dr. tiller's life. we also must celebrate his life--for dr. tiller was a man who loved life and made deliberate decisions.
a fist to my heart for dr. tiller
a fist to the sky for dr. tiller
