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.
Celebrating the Career of Frances Kissling
On Friday evening I attended a retirement reception to celebrate Frances Kissling and her distinguished career in the reproductive rights movement. In addition to serving as the director of one of the nation’s first legal abortion clinics in New York, Frances helped found the National Abortion Federation in 1977. For the last 25 years, she has served as the President of Catholics for a Free Choice, and has been a valued colleague and friend.
