Statement from Ellen R. Malcolm on the murder of Dr. George Tiller

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ellen R. Malcolm, president of EMILY's List, issued the following statement on the murder of Dr. George Tiller:

"I am shocked and saddened by the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller was a courageous man who was determined to give women their rightful medical options, even though he faced constant threats of personal danger and legal and political harassment. I send my deepest condolences to Dr. Tiller's wife, his family and his co-workers."

EMILY's List is the nation’s largest financial resource for women candidates. In the 2007-2008 cycle, EMILY's list raised more than $43 million to support its mission of recruiting and supporting women candidates, helping them build strong campaigns, and mobilizing women voters to turn out and vote. With more than 100,000 members across the country, EMILY's List is one of the largest political action committees in the nation. Since its founding in 1985, EMILY's List has worked to elect 79 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 15 to the U.S. Senate, nine governors, and hundreds of women to the state legislatures, state constitutional offices, and other key local offices.
