  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 4



On Sunday morning, the local Sioux Falls Paper, the Argus Leader, had a full front-page story with the most recent poll results for Referred Law Six. These results reflect the fact that 52% are in support of repealing the abortion ban, 42% are in favor of keeping the ban and 6% are undecided. There was a lot of excitement and energy when we arrived at the campaign office. However, the enthusiasm in the campaign office was tempered by a fear that complacency would set in among “No on Six” supporters. In order to defeat the ban, we need to get all of our voters to the polls, and most of Sunday was spent on the phone trying to recruit over 500 volunteers to help with the get-out-the-vote effort of election weekend up through Election Day.
