Calling all advocates for reproductive health, rights, and justice to come to Germantown, Md., from July 31 through August 6, 2011. Stand with Dr. Carhart, his staff, and his patients against a summer campaign of harassment from far-right hate group Operation Rescue. Visit http://www.summerofchoice.com/ for more information.

1. K&R!

Thanks so much for posting this! I believe I've seen the courageous Dr. Carhart on the news... :kick:

2. I'd love to be there

What a great idea.

3. It really is, and I wish it was closer to me, as well. I'm going to be in Vermont...

Doesn't he have a daughter who also works with him? I'm pretty sure I saw them on Rachel's show, I think. I'm also hoping that she continues her focus on Kansas. It's become a real cause with her... :hi:

4. I don't know.

You might be thinking of the doctor from Kansas who is in practice with his daughter. They were on Rachel too. But Carhart is the doctor from Nebraska.

5. I believe you're right.

But he does look awfully familiar to me. These physicians are incredibly courageous, hard to believe that this kind of harassment - and worse - is still happening in this day and age. My heart goes out to the women of Kansas and Nebraska and Indiana who are now being denied basic health care. It's just tragic. I hope that this meet up is a huge success and serves as a wake up call for all Americans... ;( :hi:
