Meet an extraordinary woman: Taking Fight Back to Wichita, Doctor Seeks Abortion Clinic

[cali]

Craig Hacker for The New York Times


There was reason for concern: the last doctor to provide abortions here was shot to death because of his work. But rather than lower her profile, Dr. Means raised it by buying a car that nobody could miss: a bright-yellow Mini Cooper, emblazoned, appropriately enough, with lightning bolts.

“It’s partly an in-your-face response,” she explained. “You’re looking for me. I’m here.”

Two years have passed since this city, for decades the volatile epicenter of the national fight over abortion, was shaken by the murder of Dr. George R. Tiller — a controversial figure because of his willingness to perform later-term abortions — by a man who said he wanted to stop the killing of
babies.

1. That clinic she worked at in KC?

It was the one Scott Roeder vandalized the day before he murdered Dr. Tiller.

I so hope this woman opens her clinic in Wichita and has a thriving practice.

2. Women have been

saved by such brave people. I just hope they let her be.
