vigil for Dr. Tiller

Jun 01, 2009 04:47

Several anti-choice groups have stated they will be there to provide 'respectful resistance to Tiller being hailed as a hero'. If you would feel more comfortable heading to the vigil with people, please join me.

I will be waiting by the North exit (the one that comes up into the Commons) until about 5:30. If you do not see this until you are at work, I will have some extra candles.

Dr. 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."
