  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

Crisis Pregnancy Centers in the News

Sunday’s Palm Beach Post featured a front-page article about Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs). The article discussed the misleading and inaccurate information CPCs tell women including that there is a link between abortion and increased risk for developing breast cancer. More than 100 of the world’s leading experts on pregnancy and breast cancer have concluded that having an abortion does not increase a woman’s subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.

The article also included the experience of a patient who mistakenly visited a CPC in Virginia and has decided to publicly share her story about being harassed and mislead.

If you have experience with a deceptive CPC, we would be interested in hearing your story.
