Trust Women issued this statement today:
Trust Women is pleased to confirm the recent purchase of Dr. Tiller’s former office building. This represents one step closer to goal of providing full-spectrum health services for area women, including abortion services. Currently, local women must travel upwards of three hours to obtain this simple medical procedure. This reestablishment of local services will alleviate burden and expense of travel.
While this is a big step, we still have a long way to go. We will continue our work to improve access and reduce the stigma associated with abortion. This is not about politics or ideology for us. It is about serving the needs of women and community.
(Trust Women is a separate organization from the Trust Women/Silver Ribbon Campaign; TW is one of the many organizational partners of the Campaign.)
