"Where Romney is bad on issues of contraception, abortion access, and social services, Paul Ryan is worse. Ryan has a 0% rating by NARAL, indicating an entirely anti-choice voting record. It’s a long record too – Ryan has cast 59 votes against abortion access and family planning funding since 1998, including several votes to completely eliminate Title X funding. Ryan is passionate about his extreme views on contraception, saying, “I’m as pro-life as a person gets. You’re not going to have a truce.” His stance is so extreme that he opposes everything from allowing abortion coverage by private insurers that receive any federal money – which is most insurance companies – to allowing doctors to perform emergency abortions to save women’s lives. A Romney-Ryan ticket guarantees that the war on women would win a battle at the executive level." - Is Romney’s Race Over? (via stfusexists)

As you all know:

Today marks the third anniversary of the murder of Dr. George Tiller.

Democracy Now has made a short news segment and article on Dr. Tiller, his compassion, his patients, and the void the loss of Dr. Tiller has left in the reproductive justice community. (*tw*) Before you click the link, I would just like to warn you that there is a mention of rape.

I would just like to say that you are not pro-life when you murder a caring doctor. You are not pro-life when you bomb clinics. You are not pro-life when you harass people outside of clinics. You are not pro-life when you stalk clinic workers and threaten them. You are not pro-life when you block people from receiving healthcare.

Rest in power, Dr. Tiller. We will always remember you, your work, and your compassion.
