Candlelight vigil for George Tiller
May wasn't even over when we got news of the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, shot down while he was ushering at his church - the one place he wouldn't wear a bulletproof vest. Members of the Austin pro-choice community were saddened and outraged by this news as Dr. Tiller was a good friend to the community and the women it served - one of only two providers in the entire United States brave enough to perform medically-necessary third trimester abortions.
On Thursday evening June 4 the Lilith Fund and other members of the Texas pro-choice movement sponsored a candlelight vigil to honor Dr. Tiller's memory. It was a lovely night for the service and a hush fell over Butler Park near Ladybird Lake as a hundred and more gathered to pay tribute to this dedicated man slain before his time.
