Just one month after the death of Dr. George Tiller the Center for Reproductive Rights released a chilling report that shows abortion providers and their clinics are under siege. A four-month investigation in six states revealed that death threats, break ins, and assaults continue to impede women’s access to clinics. Rather than use Tiller’s death to make the case that doctors and their patients should be protected, the federal government has done very little. So how should those who believe in a woman’s right to have an abortion respond?

Dr. Susan Wicklund, author of This Common Secret: My Journey as an Abortion Doctor, Sunsara Taylor, a correspondent for Revolution Newspaper, and Mia Herndon, Executive Director of the Third Wave Foundation on the impact of Dr. Tiller’s death. You can find out more about Dr. Wicklund’s clinic and pledge-a-picketer program here.

1. Where is the FBI on this?

Anyone who makes a threat to any clinic should be considered a criminal. Where is our law enforcement on this!

2. You have salute her bravery in standing up for what is a given right of freedom of choice...

It's just so unfortunate that they have to struggle in doing a job that happens in most industrial nations with little fuss or extremity. May she be safe and blessed in her help she provides for women who are making a difficult decision.
