Dr. George Tiller, one of the few physicians in the United States who performed late term abortions was murdered Sunday in the foyer of his church in Kansas. He is the eighth abortion provider  murdered in the US since 1977 and his death is indicative of a larger assault on health clinics and providers who offer reproductive services, including abortion. Jennifer Pozner says that such actions are really cases of textbook terrorism and need to be identified as such.

Lynn Paltrow, Founder and Executive Director of  National Advocates for Pregnant WomenJennifer Pozner, Executive Director of  Women In Media & News (WIMN), a media analysis, education and advocacy group,  Sunsara Taylor, a writer for  Revolution Newspaper, and an abortion provider in the south take on the media’s response to Tiller’s death and discuss what pro-choice organizations need to do moving forward.
