The George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund is the National Network of Abortion Funds’ national abortion fund that helps women to pay for later abortion care and helps those who need to travel out of state for an abortion or those who live in a state that lacks an abortion fund. The Fund is managed by our national office and our National Case Manager. Women seeking later abortions must often travel very far from their home states to get to clinics that can provide the care they need. Later abortions are also significantly more expensive than first-trimester abortions.
The George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund is the only resource of its kind.
We created the George Abortion Tiller Memorial Fund on May 31, 2009, the day that Dr. Tiller was assassinated in his church attending Sunday worship services.
[NB: More people than just cis women need and want access to abortion care.]
This wonderfully done documentary aired on MSNBC a year ago and it is now online. If you click on the link you should be able to watch all 6 parts of it in the video embedded into it (to view the next part click on the video boxes for each one on the right hand side).
Three years ago today, Dr. Tiller was murdered in his church by an anti-choice fanatic. #DrTiller provided abortions for 30+ years.
Abortion Gang is having a collective blog remembrance. Will you be blogging about Tiller or the need for access to late-term abortions or the principles for which he fought and, ultimately, died? Let Abortion Gang know.
Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.
Her HuffPo article on this is super fascinating.
I hate entertainment reporters. Fuck you guys and your gendered bullshit.
PSA of the Day: According to the Best Friends Animal Society, more than 80 percent of pet owners support spaying or neutering their furry friends. But apparently, pet owners can’t seem to remember exactly when their animals should be sterilized (at 4 months old).
Enter the Fix at Four campaign, a series of clever PSAs that aims to reduce the number of accidental pets, and the best of which makes it seem as if a freaked-out father is trying to keep a bunch of horny neighborhood boys from impregnating his tween-age daughter.
“We purposely made them lighter,” says Bill Oakley, of TM Advertising, which helped design the spots. “When I see those Sarah McLachlan commercials, I turn them off. I can’t even watch them.”
If a survivor of domestic violence uses a gun to warn an attacker, not kill him, and that survivor now faces a prison term of twenty years, then what purpose does Stand Your Ground serve?
When you call someone a douchebag, what you’re literally saying to them is,
“You think you’re so great, but your existence is actually totally unnecessary and your main function is probably toxic. Also you shouldn’t be allowed near anyone’s genitalia.”
The state of Kansas, which you would think would investigate OR for HIPPA violations if nothing else, has instead cooperated with OR and is now looking into supposed sexual abuse claims that these stolen medical records indicate.
The ONLY reason OR would make known that they have these records is to intimidate and implicitly threaten people who have sought abortions in Kansas and those who will.
The state of Kansas has its priorities messed up.
The Department of Justice needs to step in.

Also, I'd rather pretend that season 6 of Lost never happened, and that Alias ended with the 2003 Superbowl episode.
