Please pray for us pro choicers in Kansas
Especially my friend and his wife. She is a doctor who used to perform abortions here in Kansas. She was repeatedly threatened and her clinic was firebombed but the person who did it was never caught. (Three guesses as to the #1 suspect)

Just because Roeder was caught doesn't mean this is over. Not by a long shot. We are very very concerned about copy cat crimes.

Please send prayers and positive vibes our way.

Thank you.

26. Excuse me, but the people who did this are not truly God's followers
God's real followers are not to be judged by the people who claim to be His followers and commit murder in His name.

3. Prayers coming your way!!
When women start dying in Kansas because there is no Ob-gyn care available we may eventually see change but until then no changes will occur. Stay safe!


The state has allowed these groups to proliferate and go unchecked, the gov over the last 8 years refused to call them "Terrorist" because Christian religion was behind their actions.

5. Hopefully the pro-choice community can do more than that to support you.
All doctors who brave the insane pro-life movement are the real heros.

8. i am honored to send vibes your way
i am sorry that people have to sacrifice so much to give women a choice and the ability to plan their lives

your friends are heroes, i hope they know that -- the sad thing is, your friends will probably never know the lives they saved from despair or even suicide, probably dr. tiller didn't know either, not really, it is the fate of heroes to understate their own accomplishments

too often we forget to say thank you to our heroes while they are still here and that is a cause for much regret

i hope you all stay safe and the evil-doers are shut down as fast as possible

it's sad that offering women choice can even be considered a reason to harm a doctor, in this year 2009


i know your friends have helped many women have better lives, they deserve all good things

Having an Ob/gyn friend who used to do abortions but quit due to being threatened, it sucks.

US Marshals to Protect
05.31.09 -- 8:19PM
By Josh Marshall

Statement from Attorney General Holder ...

"The murder of Doctor George Tiller is an abhorrent act of violence, and his family is in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic moment. Federal law enforcement is coordinating with local law enforcement officials in Kansas on the investigation of this crime, and I have directed the United States Marshals Service to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation. The Department of Justice will work to bring the perpetrator of this crime to justice. As a precautionary measure, we will also take appropriate steps to help prevent any related acts of violence from occurring."

27. He was pretty much it for us here
since ProKanDo went out of existence after last year. This year we had a lobbyist from NOW and my friend who worked with her a bit but there is no organization here and the pressure in Congress is really cranking up to stop all abortion rights here.

30. My thought exactly.
Hell Proud, we will be lucky if we are allowed out of our homes without our husbands or sons. No birth control by the end of his first term. bet ya. We have GOT to stop him and we have to do better electing Dems, better Dems or Indies, whatever will stop the forced birthers we have now. Oddly we seem to have more tolerant moderate Republicans than Dems on many social issues.

33. Go for it!
Good luck. For what it is worth, I find that most of them are too chicken to stand up for their Democratic ideals. There is no education going on here so people remain in the dark and their reps have no choice but to represent them. If I had a nickel for every one of them I have personally lobbied who told me they agreed with me but there was no support for what I was asking in their area. I ask why they do not try to educate their people and the answer is always, I can't get re-elected if they think I agree with you.
