Dr. George Tiller Shot Dead at Wichita Church

From Feministe

.... Dr. George Tiller was shot dead as he was walking into his Sunday morning church services.

Dr. Tiller was one of the few late-term abortion providers in the country. He had previously been shot, his clinic burnt down, harassed by ideological anti-abortion attorney generals, and threatened with death countless times. We’ve written about his many trials and tribulations here numerous times. Still, Dr. Tiller continued to provide abortions to women who desperately needed them, to save their own lives or health, or due to tragic fetal deformities. He put the health of women above his own life.

And now he is dead.

I remember hearing about the harassment of this man and his clinic.

Well, they finally finished the job.

Apparently they have made an arrest, in connection with the murder.

Dear U.S.,

This is terrorism.

Someone at Feministe seconded a recommendation of donating to Medical Students for Choice in Dr. Tiller's name.

I think I'll be doing that later.
