The dedicated folks at Trust Women have done it! South Wind Women's Center saw its first patient today! I have to thank these brave and dedicated souls for taking on this endeavor under the most inhospitable of environments. I will help you all in anyway I can!

Now - on to Troy Newman. The vast majority of the readers of this blog are familiar with the massive douchebag that is Troy Newman. For those that do not know - Troy Newman is the head of Operation Rescue. Troy is just another opportunist that has figured out how to make money off the true believer type. He cavorts with terrorists and employs one. Troy was quoted in the New York Daily News's article on the opening of South Wind Women's Center and was predictably offensive. 
"An abortion clinic under any other name is still an abortion clinic,... It's just another filthy, dirty chop shop. Ladies aren't going to go there, only desperate women." 
There is a lot wrong with this statement....but the "Ladies" part is what really, really irks me. Just who exactly does Troy thinks receives abortion care? 1 in 3 American women will have an abortion by age 45. 73% of those women claim religious affiliation. 6 in 10 are already mothers. (Statistics courtesy of the Guttmacher Institute). He is talking about you, your daughters, your sisters, your mothers, your nieces, your friends. Women seek abortion care. Period. It cuts across socio-economic barriers and lifestyle circumstances. The vast majority of people know someone that has had an abortion - they just may not know it.
South Wind is a beautiful facility. The women of South Central Kansas will be served well, no matter what brings them to the clinic.

Picture added for fun:
(This picture was included with the NY Daily News article - I'm actually in this picture. This was a counter demonstration to a planned appearance of many Antis in the wake of Dr. Tiller's assassination. We withstood driving rain, wind, heat, everything the Kansas weather can throw at a person - repeatedly throughout the day.)
