PBS Premiere: September 1, 2014
Online: Sept. 2, 2014 – Oct. 1, 2014

Synopsis

Martha Shane and Lana Wilson's After Tiller is a deeply humanizing and probing portrait of the only four doctors in the United States still openly performing third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas—and in the face of intense protest from abortion opponents. It is also an examination of the desperate reasons women seek late abortions. Rather than offering solutions, After Tiller presents the complexities of these women's difficult decisions and the compassion and ethical dilemmas of the doctors and staff who fear for their own lives as they treat their patients.

3. THANK YOU!

I have yet to see this and have wanted to. The movie showed in Wichita but never here, I can hope that it is covered by our PBS station.

I knew Dr. Tiller, not well, but did have several conversations. I worked with people who did know him very well and when I met him it was just by chance that he was with them up here at the Capitol building.

It was one of those times that you hear something on the news and feel like someone just punched you in the stomach.

***ON EDIT: Never mind, I see it is on Netflix and we just so happen to have a speed over our service that will allow me to actually download it STILL, thank you for getting this info out. He did not deserve what happened to him, he helped so many people

11. Have not seen you for a good long while!

Hope you are well.

Nope, only here. I really have not ever done a lot of posting anywhere else except FB and actually know very little about Dr. Weil.

I just watched it. It is excellent and done very well. It certainly portrays how things really are, not at all like the "Pro Life" people want you to think.

7. The fundies are throwing a snitfit about this movie.

Fundies like the "American Life League," and such.

You see, abortion providers are painted as horrible monsters by their propaganda, this film humanizes them and the women who get services from them.

Can't have *THAT* in JesusLand, can we?

8. Kick, kick, kick!!!

12. Glad it was on Netflix because it is not being shown here.

Kansas ya know. We usually have to go to Missouri to see even Michael Moore movies. Nope, I don't think it has been shown anywhere in Kansas except Wichita and private showings (I am not sure this is true but if it was here I missed it and I was looking for it). Apparently that continues. Operation Rescue did a real number on Wichita and this state and now with Brownback and the Koch brothers showing up at our legislature on crucial vote days we are sunk. So of course the truth cannot be shown.
