Responses: The murder of Dr. Tiller

UPDATE: Dr. Tiller’s former clinic to close.

(originally posted June 2, 2009)

From Nancy Northrop, President of the Center for Reproductive Rights,

I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of Dr. Tiller’s murder. Dr. Tiller has long been a stalwart and fearless defender of women’s fundamental health and rights, providing abortions despite decades of relentless and vicious attacks on his clinic, family and private life. His death is a devastating loss to the reproductive rights movement and to women across this country. We send our condolences to his family and friends.
