Tragedy in Kansas
Although my blog is not intended to be political, I am the father of a daughter and feel very passionately about all of her human rights, including her reproductive freedom. I was so sad to read of the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas yesterday and feel the need to remind all of us that, as parents, we work hard to protect our children from injustice and this is a reminder that there are many working hard to make women and doctors feel threatened and unsafe. I am pro-choice and will always work to make sure my daughter and other people’s daughters have access to medical options that she and her doctor agree are appropriate.
Even if you disagree with my stance on choice, I think we can all agree that nobody has the right to call themselves ‘pro-life’ if they advocate the killing of doctors and activists. This is a disturbing trend that is gaining more and more supporters. If you have time, please take a moment and send a message of condolences for those suffering from this loss. Here is a website if you would like to express your support and sadness at this horrifying murder.
Thanks for letting me process.

Makes me want to be sure to make an extra donation to NARAL! We cannot take our freedoms for granted and they are absolutely under attack.

I, too, am pro-choice, but even if I wasn’t what happened in Kansas is a tragedy and unnecessary. It is sad that we live in a world where we can’t resolve our differences, or choose to agree to disagree.

This makes me sick. The difference of opinions between people is what makes us individuals… what keeps us interesting… what keeps us unified.
But you get these whacked out extremists that piss on everyone because of one little belief.
Great, now that I say I’m anti-abortion it makes everyone think that I’m going to run around killing people, instead of striking up a talk or discussion… nuture a friendship…
Because of these crazy people, it now spark animosity and anger.
