Tiller
TONIGHT
What: Vigil to honor the life and memory
of Dr. George Tiller
When: MONDAY, June 1st, at
8pm
Where: JC Nichols Fountain at the Plaza, Kansas
City, MO
Join us
in Kansas City TONIGHT to honor Dr George Tiller, who was
killed yesterday.
Below is a portion of the press
release from PPKM about this tragedy.
All of us at Planned Parenthood of Kansas &
Mid-Missouri are horrified, angry and deeply saddened at the
murder of Dr. George Tiller this morning. Our hearts and
our prayers go out to Dr. Tiller’s wife, his children and
other family members, to his brave and dedicated staff and to
the thousands of women who have benefited from Dr.
Tiller’s compassionate and dedicated care.
Dr.
Tiller’s murder is an enormous loss for our movement and
for women and their families across America. He
provided abortions to women late in their pregnancy and under
some of the most difficult medical circumstances. Dr.
Tiller had been harassed by abortion opponents for much of his
career – his clinic was burned down, he was shot in both
arms by an abortion protestor, and he was recently targeted for
investigation by Phill Kline in Kansas, with a jury acquittal
coming just a few months ago. None of this stopped George Tiller
from his commitment to providing women and their families with
abortion care that others were unwilling to
offer
YOU can stand up against these
attacks and for Dr. Tiller and the cause he believed so
strongly in by attending our vigil
tonight.
