You can do it! I went back to medical school specifically to be a late term abortion provider. If you or anyone is interested, I can answer any questions!

Former patient of Dr. Tiller’s here. I really don’t know what my life would be like today without him and his clinic. Thank you for bringing this documentary to my attention!

Oh, I meant in general for abortion. Not this procedure.

NY actually isn’t. The author of the article lives in NY and had to travel to CO to get the care she needed. :-/

They’re featured in the documentary “After Tiller”. I think it’s still on Netflix.

The other part of this that aggravates me is that I can’t bring up this story in family conversation. All of the middle aged people in my extended family are conservative and most of them are also evangelical. If they’re talking about social issues at a family gathering and someone says something about abortion, I…

Do you know who the other three are besides Hern?

And how long until they move onto 1st and 2nd tri terminations?

I had been very apprehensive in my support of late-term abortions until I saw this film.

I hope so. I was extremely lucky when I was growing up to have a gynecologist who also performed abortions. And so I knew I could go to somebody who already knew and cared about me if I ever needed one. I didn’t realize what a rare and special thing that was.

seriously, doctors who perform abortions are the kindest doctors out there. i know ive never had an experience with an OBGYN that has been as kind as the doctors at planned parenthood.

A year or two ago, someone on Jezebel recommended After Tiller on Netflix. Want to say thank you to that person. It was extremely well done, sad, shocking, eye opening and empowered me to tell the anti-choicers in my life to swivel on it when they made factually incorrect claims.

That’s why it is on us stop falling into the trap of debating them about their word choice. These people are snakes. We need to keep telling others (and reminding ourselves ) what they really are doing. Truth dies in dictatorships; we have to keep it alive.

https://abortionfunds.org/ does this. They used to show specific funds by state. I don’t know why they don’t anymore. There are also foundations in many states to help women locally. For instance, in Texas, there is a waiting period, but many women have to travel over 100 miles to get to a clinic. So they need help…

I’m so confused by this narrative, or pointing to polls saying Bernie would have won. You mean the same fucking polls that said Hillary was going to win, and fucked us entirely?!

I agree, and I tell my students that the most important conversations we have are not with like-minded people, but with the people closest to us that disagree with us. That’s where people have the power to change minds instead of just nodding because you don’t want to cause family drama. I was so proud that my partner…

What do you mean “do your part?” You didn’t show up. Those numbers are real and they don’t lie. You. DID NOT. SHOW UP.
