Let PBS Know You Support Maria Hinojosa's Report

On June 12, award-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa did a piece for NOW on PBS called “Abortion Providers Under Siege," examining the roots of the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Anti-choice forces are organizing against PBS for airing this important piece, and pressuring the network. This kind of collective action against a media company can have a chilling effect on the kinds of stories it chooses to air.

Maria Hinojosa’s piece is an invaluable contribution to the national conversation about the murder of Dr. Tiller.

Please submit your letter to producers at NOW on PBS.

Thank You for Hinojosa’s “Abortion Providers Under Siege”

I am writing to thank you for producing “Abortion Providers Under Siege” (http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/524/index.html), examining the roots of the murder of Dr. George Tiller.  

NOW on PBS’s piece is an invaluable contribution to the national conversation about the murder of Dr. Tiller. It puts a human face on some of the abortion providers living under threat of violence, and provides a much-needed big picture analysis of how the tactics of intimidation have resulted in fewer providers overall. 

As a member of The Women's Media Center, I am writing to thank you for this tremendous piece and to voice my support for NOW on PBS and for Maria Hinojosa’s work. Please continue to produce meaningful journalism like “Abortion Providers Under Siege.”

Thank you so much!
