I was digging through old footage of ours for something complete different, when I came across this interview that we did with Congressman Jim Moran at the dedication of a memorial garden in honor of Dr. George Tiller shortly after his death.
Here's a piece of what we wrote about the dedication: The crowd was a close nit group of clinic workers, abortion clinic escorts, pro-choice activists, and a couple elected officials, including Congressman Jim Moran (who, I should add, thanked me for being a clinic escort the second we met, it was much appreciated Congressman). They choose to dedicate a garden to symbolize the continuation of life and the planting of new roots. The vigil we attended in June was a moment to grieve and commit themselves anew to the fight for women's rights, this more recent event was a chance to find closure to their mourning.
