Dr. Tiller

I didn't think I'd ever see the day when another Medical Professional was murdered. Dr. Tiller, you were a hero in every sense of the word.

Dr. Tiller provided late term abortions in Wichita Kansas and was gunned down in his church on Sunday May 30th, 2009.
I've been in mourning for a man I've never met. Filled with anger and fear. Knowing that his assassination is thought to be justified by certain groups, especially those that claim they favor life, appalls me.

Dr. Tiller saved lives, he did not take them. With his murder, countless women have lost access to necessary health care. Women now have two doctors in the country to turn to when they find themselves in need of this medical procedure.
Children developing with no brains and other abnormalities that will only know pain during the life that will last only a few moments. Mothers who face death or life long disabilities have only two heroes left to help them. May my and the next generation bring up more people like him. More heroes. More people willing to stand up for the right to save the lives and integrity of women and families.

As Dr. Tiller said: "And the first concept is that for every woman, each pregnancy is an invited guest into her body and a welcome addition to her family"
