Dr.Teller

On Sunday June 7 at the corner of Bloor and Spadina in Toronto , there will be a vigil to honour  Dr. George Tiller, who was known as the doctor of last resort in the pro-choice community.  Dr. Tiller was murdered by a homegrown right-wing terrorist in the U.S.  But don't think that anti-choice violence is only a problem in the U.S.  Terror is a way that part of the the anti-choice movement has tried to prevent abortion provision for a long time.  Below is a column I wrote more ten years ago about the threat facing abortion providers here in Canada.  Numerous female columnists have written about the issue in Canada and the US.  My column originally appeared on the CBC web site
