The Escalation of Anti-Abortion Violence Ten Years After Dr. George Tiller’s Murder
By Jill Heaviside & Rosann Mariappuram. First published on Rewire.News
As we mark the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, it is incredible to think that, just over a month ago, Republican Sen. Ben Sasse was really asking how “the pro-life position is in any way violent.”
Violence has been a central tenet of the anti-abortion movement since before the U.S. Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. As activists have sought control over the reproductive freedom of millions of people—particularly women of color, low-income women and families, and queer, gender-nonconforming, and transgender communities—they have used violence as a tactic of control, abuse, and fear across the United States.
Dr. Tiller was Wichita’s only abortion provider for 40 years and was known for his deep commitment to trusting women and their families’ reproductive health decisions. Because of his work, Dr. Tiller was a target of many anti-abortion groups; before he was killed, he survived a clinic bombing and a prior shooting.
Dr. Tiller’s murder wasn’t an isolated incident. Anti-abortion extremists have killed at least 11 people since the 1990s. Their violent history includes the first recorded murder of an abortion provider, Dr. David Gunn, in 1993, and the 2015 shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, which claimed three lives and injured nine people.

Five Things to Know About Botswana’s Decision to Lift Ban on Hunting Elephants
Botswana, home to the world’s largest African elephant population, has lifted its five-year suspension of elephant hunting, attracting the ire of conservationists while placating those who argue that the land giants, known to kill livestock and destroy crops, are wreaking havoc on locals’ livelihoods.
In a statement detailing the reversal, Botswana’s Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism cited the increasing prevalence of human-elephant conflict, the Department of Wildlife and National Parks’ inability to respond to animal control reports in a timely fashion, and the toll on communities ill-equipped to handle the unimpeded roaming of these roughly 12,000-pound creatures. The ministry further said that reinstatement will be performed “in an orderly and ethical manner.”
The exact nature of this “ethical” implementation remains unclear, as do the long-term ramifications of the decision for both Botswana’s human and pachyderm residents. But in the meantime, here’s what we do know:

Isabeli Fontana Is Sexy For Summer 2019 Love + Lemons Whose Ethical Mfg Is Even Cooler
Top model Isabeli Fontana projects sensual sophistication in a southern France mood, turning up the heat as the face of For Love & Lemons’ summer 2019 campaign. The LA brand delivers of pretty woman collection of ruffles, floral blooms, polka dot prints and classic ‘tarte’ femininity for summer beauties worldwide.
Founded by Wyoming natives and best friends Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall in 2011, Love and Lemons doesn’t share a significant sustainability story.
But the company does donate — rather than liquidate or burn — its unsold clothing, donating them to Dress For Success, an organization that provides professional attire and development tools to help women thrive in work and in life and On Your Feet Inc., an organization that helps low-income families achieve economic success.
The most noteworthy ethical innovation at Love and Lemons is the brand’s totally transparent relationship with their production process, and the brand’s Chinese factory owned by ‘Victor’. The factory production narrative begins with a photo of the facility in Zhejiang, China.

Major Film Studios Follow Netflix In Putting Georgia On Notice Over Illegal Abortion Law
It was a slow start on whether or not America’s film industry would become involved in Georgia politics, threatening to abandon existing projects and future expansion of filming major projects like the revolutionary, Oscar-winning ‘Black Panther’ movie.
Netflix was the first major studio to take a stand against the medical-quackery ‘heartbeat bill banning abortion at about six weeks, joining the ACLU lawsuit in fighting the law not only as an infringement of Roe v. Wade, but as pseudo-science that has no basis in medical facts.
Today, an onslaught of new studios including Viacom, CBS, Sony, AMC, NBC Universal and Warner Media raises their collective business voices against the new law.
US Spelling Bee's 8 Winners, ALL Kids of Color, Challenge Trump's White Nationalism Beliefs
America had a first-ever, dramatic end to the National Spelling Bee. They ran out of words, and eight kids were still standing. The winners are Rishik Gandhasri, Erin Howard, Saketh Sundar, Shruthika Padhy, Sohum Sukhatankar, Abhijay Kodali, Christopher Serrao, and Rohan Raja.
With all Trump's hateful anti-immigration rhetoric, I note publicly the absence of a majority of white kids in the final rounds. In fact, they are hard to find in this inspiring group of young people.
What's up? Are white kids not making the cut -- or are they too "good" to undertake a mental challenge like the National Spelling Bee?
