Film Screening, After Tiller

Thursday, January 25th, 7pm Film Showing: After Tiller, 2015 Emmy Award Winner - Best Documentary. Dr. George Tiller was the courageous doctor who provided abortions for women and was gunned down by an anti-abortionist. He is was one of the few doctors in the U.S. who specialized in performing late-term abortions. Since the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in May 2009, there are only four American doctors left who openly provide third-trimester abortions. After Tiller paints a complex, compassionate portrait of these physicians who have become the new number-one targets of the anti-abortion movement, yet continue to risk their lives every day to do work that many believe is murder, but which they believe is profoundly important for their patients' lives. This film is more relevant than ever. The Trump/Pence regime is staffed from top to bottom with fanatical Christian fundamentalists who hate that women have won some measure of reproductive choice and social equality, and that open, forcible patriarchy has been weakened or eroded. And they are determined to reverse these trends with a vengeance and impose a theocratic form of fascism.We must NOT let that happen! Fetuses Are NOT Children. Abortion Is NOT Murder. Women Are NOT Incubators. This film showing will happen a few days before the annual "Walk for Life" on Sat. Jan. 27th, where thousands will march against abortion down SF's Market Street. The time is NOW to stand up for abortion rights. Join the protest, "Defend abortion rights and oppose the "Walk for Life." Sat. Jan. 27th, 11:30 a.m. S. F. Federal Building, 7th and Mission.
