I donated to the Peggy Bowman Second Chance Fund at http://www.pbscf.org and
NARAL Pro Choice Texas at http://www.ProchoiceTexas.org in memory of Dr. Tiller. They were small donations of $15 and $20, because I am between jobs, but it is what I would have spent on flowers.

The first organization helps with funding in Wichita, KS and the other watches over the Texas Legislature. My cousin’s wife donated to Planned Parenthood.

I have hosted 3 fundraisers over the past 4 years for the Texas Equal Access Fund teafund.org which is a NNAF abortion funding provider in the DFW area. It has been a year since the last, so I guess it is time for another. Texas has only two such organizations. One is in Dallas and the other in Austin to cover the entire lone star state.

For those that can’t afford to donate, consider hosting a small gathering to raise money for your nearest NNAF organization. The Tea Fund calls them tea parties. You host the party and you can either ask for a specific donation amount or just let people donate as much as they can afford.

I hosted one at my home where we had tea and cookies, one at a friend’s dress shop where we served champagne and mimosas, and one at a little cafe in Austin. Get a group of friends to help you host the party to cut costs, increase donations and expand the invitation list.

Does anyone know if Dr. Tiller’s widow and any others he may have provided for are taken care of financially?

The information doesn’t seem to be in the mainstream or any other media, but it seems rather important.

I also recommend Medical Students for Choice. As the Bad Old Days fade from memory, fewer doctors are inspired by compassion to learn to do abortions. There's also Canadians for Choice: nonprofit and educational, tax deductible. Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada: political, not deductible.
