  Remembering an American hero: George Tiller

We continue to mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller was a dedicated physician who provided quality abortion care to women, at great personal sacrifice and risk. He is truly a hero to his fellow abortion providers and his patients. Dr. Tiller’s office is filled with letters from women, thanking him for the excellent, compassionate care he provided. Many of these women say Dr. Tiller saved their lives.

Since his tragic death, we have received messages from some of his patients and from people around the world who are saddened and outraged. We feel it is important to share these words and tributes to our beloved colleague and friend. For the first time, we will enable comments on our blog so that all of you can share your condolences or offer memories of Dr. Tiller. We invite you to join us in honoring a true American hero, Dr. George Tiller.

Post your comments, condolences, and personal memories of Dr. Tiller

NAF Staff in the Field: South Dakota Abortion Ban Referenda - Update 2


With Halloween right around the corner in South Dakota, even jack-o-lanterns take on a political tone as volunteers show up to carve “No on Six” into pumpkins. This was first done at the campaign headquarters in Rapid City, and it attracted the attention of local media who came down to tape the event. Pumpkin carving proved to be a fun activity for the campaign organizers and volunteers in Sioux Falls who have been working long hours on the campaign without a break. When the masterpieces were completed, they were lined up so we could all take pictures of the blazing “No on Six” gourds. Then, for Lisa, Angie and Jen, along with other volunteers and campaign staff, it was back to the phones.
