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."

Good to see that America mourns the death of controversial persons as well. I hope one day religious intolerance will make way for freedom of choice - for any and all.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.distance learning degree AND online associate Degree
I recently wrote a piece for The Nation about the disconnect between mom activists/bloggers and young feminists, and I sent the link to Jessica and Courtney to get their thoughts. Both of them disagreed—that they actually saw a lot of overlap between feminist blogs/community and parenting issues. And it’s true. Feministing does post on these issues, such as here , here and here . Master Degree AND online Bachelor Degree AND Online Universities
