Yesterday Dr. Tiller of Witchita, Kansas, was murdered. This was the third time he'd been attacked by the anti-choice movement with either a bomb or guns. He was one of the only western Kansas abortion providers, and ran his clinic single-handedly.

I've been through abortion, and am so grateful for the services being legal for me in our state. I am grateful to the kind staff members who held my hand and counseled me. I had to drive an hour to get there on three different days, and miss several days of work. I had enough money to pay for the procedure and gas and lunch afterwards. How will Kansas women who live too far from Kansas City acquire these things? I don't know, but my heart is breaking for them.

I am especially grateful that you are wanted and loved so much already.
