Yesterday I wrote about the tragic murder of Dr. George Tiller , the abortion doctor in Kansas who was shot in his church. In honor of Dr. Tiller, Planned Parenthood of New York City, NARAL NY, The NYCLU, NYAAF, and PRCH are inviting New Yorkers to join them this evening for a special VIGIL TO HONOR DR. GEORGE TILLER tonight Monday, June 1st, 6 pm in Union Square, New York City.
The following is from the Planned Parenthood email:
I am writing to share my deep, personal sadness that is shared not only in Kansas, but throughout the entire Planned Parenthood family.
Dr. Tiller was a hero, a man who had deep compassion for his work and his patients. PPNYC had referred patients to his practice over the years and was always gratified by his care and compassion. A couple years ago, Dr. Tiller came to speak at PPNYC and shared his experiences and passion
for his work with our clinical staff. He was a true inspiration to us all.
Tonight , Monday June 1st at 6pm, we will gather in Union Square with our friends, colleagues and supporters to honor the life of this courageous man who dedicated his life to serving women when they were in need.
Please join us to remember Dr. Tiller and to stand in solidarity with those who work every day to ensure that women and their families have access to the care they need even in the face of violence and intimidation.
