  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

Holder Should be Confirmed as Next Attorney General

This week, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the nomination of Eric Holder for U.S. Attorney General. We strongly support his nomination and urge his swift confirmation.

Throughout his distinguished career, Holder has consistently shown his commitment to protecting the legal rights of all Americans and established himself as an advocate for women. He has been outspoken on gender equality issues, worked to combat domestic violence, and taken a strong stand to ensure women have equal access to education and health care.

He is well-respected and has been selected by both Democrats and Republicans to serve in different posts. Holder was unanimously confirmed by the Senate for the position of Deputy Attorney General in 1997, and a number of Republican senators have recently expressed their support for Holder during these proceedings.

This is an important time in our nation’s history and it is crucial that we have the right leadership as we move forward. Holder has the commitment and experience necessary to lead the Department of Justice and should be swiftly confirmed.
