I Am Dr. Tiller Project

Dear Feministing Community,
Over the last 48 hours, my partner and I created a website, http://www.IAmDrTiller.com . The goal of this project is to serve as a memorial to the lifework of Dr. George Tiller and as a living testimony to the courageous lives of abortion providers.
On the website, you will find stories of individuals who have dedicated their lives to making abortion safe, legal, healthy, and accessible to women and girls. These people may be nurses, counselors, escorts, volunteers at abortion funds, or abortion doctors themselves. You will not see the faces of these providers to protect their safety. What you will see is the story they decide to share – how they came to abortion work, what their function is at their abortion clinic, or their personal abortion story. We want to humanize these individuals to convey the kindness, courtesy, justice, love, and respect they have for women and the health care choices women make. We share our stories in hopes of ending clinic violence, to alleviate the shame associated with the abortion experience, and as an homage to Dr. Tiller’s outstanding and courageous life work.

HOWEVER, my story is the only one up right now! PLEASE encourage all the reproductive health advocates you know to submit their stories! What I need is for them to submit photos with a piece of paper that says, “I Am Dr. Tiller” obscuring their face. They may submit whatever story they want in whatever format they want, as long as it’s connected to the abortion work they do.
There are two ways to submit: via the website (there are instructions here http://iamdrtiller.com/submit) or to email me the photo and your story at info@iamdrtiller.com . Of course all of their personal information will not be shared or disclosed anywhere or to anyone.
Any comments or questions are greatly appreciated. Please pass this along and SUBMIT YOUR STORIES AND PHOTOS in solidarity with Dr. George Tiller and all abortion providers.
With hope,
Steph
