Ich habe Urlaub in den Staaten gemacht und vieles über Dr. Tiller gelesen. Hier in Deutschland ist die Dikussion auch sehr stark über dieses Thema, ja es ist nicht leicht.

I feel like shouting from the mounaintop am I so frustrated with people thinking they know what is right and what is wrong without walking in someone elses shoes. Any woman in her right mind knows ending a pregnancy late term is horrible. Abortion is a sad thing, but thank God there’s an option. I would bet almost every single woman ending her late term pregnancy did so after finding out too late there was something seriously wrong her baby. The women I met at Dr. Tiller’s clinic were all married women in their late 20’s, early 30’s who all had babies with fatal anomalies and because of certain state laws they were forced to go to Kansas. Now because of Dr. Tiller’s heinous murder, women have 1 less choice. Now, they may have to wait out the remaining 10-15 weeks of their pregnancy knowing the grim fate of their baby. How sad. How sad it is to even have to make such a horrid decision, but it happens. I wish people would understand abortion is not a black or white issue. Dr. Tiller was an advocate and crusader for women’s rights. What’s so wrong with that? He helped women all over the country close a very difficult chapter in their lives. And he did it with caring and compassion. My heart is so heavy, so full of grief, mourning the death of such a hero.

When I heard the news about Dr. Tiller on the radio, I had to stop my car and weep.
In 1987, I not only found out I was about seven months pregnant but that the baby had a severe fetal defect and would not survive. After deciding it was best to terminate the pregnancy, we flew to Kansas. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. Dr. Tiller and his staff were so helpful, compassionate, and kind. He held my hand, hugged me and told me that everything was going to be alright.
I cannot thank him enough for helping me.

I too feel the need to cry out for our loss of Dr. Tiller.
I have a double sword for this subject. I am pro life, as I am an adopted child.
I am also pro choice!
A little over a year ago my daughter and her husband got terrible news late in her pregnancy that her baby had a fatal anomalie that could also be fatal to my daughter.
After many sleepless nights, my daughter and husband made the decison to terminate the pregnancy.
I flew with her to Kansas, scared to pieces for her. Dr. Tiller and his staff were truly amazing.
This compassionate man, that the news would like you to believe was a monster, spoke with us, educated us, and supported my daughter. He gave me a pin that said “ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING”, which I still have. I can still remember him sitting with me by my daughter’s bedside comforting us.
The support and service he offered after also.
I lost a granddaughter that day but Dr. Tiller saved my baby, my daughter.
Please don’t judge until you have walked a mile in some ones shoes!
