He was murdered one year ago

May 31 marks the one-year anniversary of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, who was shot to death on a Sunday morning in his church in Wichita, Kansas by an anti-choice zealot.

He often wore a button on his lapel that featured his motto, “Trust Women.” After Dr. Tiller’s murder, Dr. LeRoy Carhart, an abortion provider in Nebraska, wore the pin as a tribute to his friend and colleague … and we created this wristband to carry forward the message.

That’s why when you donate $10 today to NARAL Pro-Choice America, we will send you a “Trust Women” wristband to honor the legacy of Dr. Tiller…and to show your solidarity with Dr. Carhart and all of the doctors and nurses out there who trust women.



Dr. LeRoy Carhart has been a vocal supporter of a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion care. He is one of the few abortion providers to whom women in heart-breaking circumstances can turn. And the anti-choice movement has made him a target of their attacks by enacting a divisive and invasive anti-choice law aimed directly at threatening Dr. Carhart and the women he serves.

In fact, Mary Spaulding Balch of the National Right to Life Committee recently told Politico, “When George Tiller was killed, LeRoy Carhart had national attention. That alerted Speaker Mike Flood to the problem in Nebraska, and he worked to address that.”1

We cannot let anti-choice operatives go unchecked. Donate today and receive your “Trust Women” wristband.

NARAL Pro-Choice America urgently needs your help today to fight back against those who want to take away reproductive rights. Anti-choice zealots have proven that they are willing to use both violence and legislation to oppress women. That’s why we need the support of each and every pro-choice American today.

This is your opportunity to show our opponents that we will not be intimidated.

Donate $10 today, and we will send you a “Trust Women” wristband. Please join us and stand against anti-choice violence and intimidation.

Get your “Trust Women” wristband today: https://secure.prochoiceamerica.org/site/Donation2?idb=0&df_id=12161&12161.donation=form1&autologin=true&JServSessionIdr004=d208bgz982.app240a

Sincerely,



Nancy Keenan, President
NARAL Pro-Choice America

P.S. While Dr. Tiller’s murder only increased the commitment of pro-choice advocates to protect women’s reproductive rights, it also unfortunately re-energized anti-choice extremists in their pursuit to take away a woman’s right to choose. Please help us fight back. Contribute now and be proud to “Trust Women”.

Damn, I guess time flies when the country's falling apart. :evilfrown:

May 31st is also LyricKid's birthday, so although we carried on with his party last year and tried to stay as cheerful and in-the-moment as we could for the sake of the kidlet, it was certainly a day full of torn feelings on the part of the grownups in the house. :(

:kick:

Oh, yeah. "Kill." I guess that only applies to hypothetical life like in abortion or stem cell research. It doesn't apply to pregnant women even if it is to save her life or to doctors. One would suppose that a four-word commandment would be pretty easy to understand.

They killed him in a church too, if I remember right.

If hell is real, there is a special place in it for child molesters, those abuse old people and right-to-lifers.

How can you argue with that? I hope they raise a lot of money with this campaign. :thumbsup:

We still have our trust women shirts from that. There were more volunteers than there were protesters!
