We spent a great deal of time, thought, and discussion about what should go on this page. This is, after all, when we ask for a financial contribution to help us help women. None of our words came close to those of our husband and father whose speech (shown below) was written and presented one year before his death. For us, there is no greater goal, no higher tribute. And so we ask you to join us in building a society that Dr. George Tiller envisioned.

“I personally see a society that respects the integrity of its citizens to struggle with complex health issues and make decisions that are appropriate for them and their personal lives.

I see a society that respects the religious differences of its citizens.

I see a society that rejects hate, rejects judgmental condemnation, and rejects prejudice and racism.

I see a government that honors the privacy of its citizens without unwarranted surveillance.

I see a society in which war is not an option, and negotiation, with mutual respect, is the hallmark rather than mutual self-destruction.

I see a society where the welfare of all is equally important as the riches of the few.

I see a world that discusses solutions without demanding its own answers.

We have given war, pestilence, hate, greed, judgment,ego, self-sufficiency a good try, and have failed.

We need a new paradigm that consists of kindness, courtesy, justice, love, and respect in all of our relationships.”

Dr. George R. Tiller
August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009
