Forces That Killed Dr. Tiller Plan Campaign to Terrorize Dr. Carhart & His Clinic
For OpEdNews: Kevin Gosztola - WriterIn Bellevue, Nebraska, pro-choice and pro-women advocates have gathered to support Dr. Carhart and his abortion clinic, as right wing forces begin to escalate a campaign against him.
Nearly 100 people from across the United States, from over 16 states in the US, are in Nebraska to defend Dr. Carhart and his clinic from the anti-abortion movement that has recently designated Dr. Carhart and his clinic as target #1. They are moving to Bellevue Nebraska, site of Dr. Carhart's clinic because the previous number one target, Dr. George Tiller was murdered.
Several organizations, including the Abortion and Contraception Clinic of Nebraska (ACCON,) National Organization for Women (NOW,) the Feminist Majority Foundation, the World Can't Wait and NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado are here from Friday through Saturday to engage in clinic defense and counter-demonstration.
"We intend to show our support for the legal services that Dr. Carhart provides. Our intention is to have a peaceful presence in order to let people know that attempts to harass and intimidate physicians like Dr. Carhart, who provide an important service to women, will not go unchallenged, " says Nebraska NOW president, Erin Sullivan, "We want to show our support for a woman's right to choose, for Dr. Carhart's work, and to show that ACCON should stay open."
Ryan Swanek, director of development for ACCON, has a slogan for what people are coming together this weekend to state, "Trust women, this slogan champions Dr. George Tiller and Dr. Carhart is at the center of our work. We trust women to make the right decisions. We trust women to know what is best for their bodies. We trust women to know that the freedoms awarded to us as citizens of this country are not to be taken lightly. We must stand up, be strong and speak out. We trust women."
When pro-choice and pro-women advocates come out to say they "trust women" we are sending a message to those who would create a climate of violence, fear and shame for women seeking abortion. They are saying they will not let forces come and harass people who are just doing their job and who are conducting a procedure that is protected by law. LinkHere

the so-called "important" service to women is as important to the unborn that they carry. There are adoption services and outreach agencies.These are God-fashioned Souls they carry.It is murder.
I sincerely would have wished Bush and Cheney would have thought about all the lives they so frivolously ended, with an unjust war of a Sovereign Nation.

Save the fetus kill the child.
I believe this is a womans decision. These righteous men that can throw away the lives of our sons and daughters, without so much as a word from any of the Churches of God, stay out of the most important decision a woman can make, unless the male is the father of said fetus then he and she should in some cases decide together, if the male is interested, a lot of times they don't give a darn.
