I thought this deserves the widest audience possible, and being the pro-choice group, this is an obvious place to widen the audience...

Dr. Kristin Neuhaus needs our help
Dr. Neuhaus worked with Dr. George Tiller, providing the second opinion required by Kansas law to verify emotional distress in a woman seeking an abortion.
Here is an article about Dr. Neuhaus and her family. http://www.pitch.com/kansascity/kristin-neuhaus_phill-kline_abortion_kansas-board-of-healing-arts_george-tiller/Content?oid=2691151
And the interview that aired on the Rachel Maddow Show last year: http://www.pitch.com/plog/archives/2011/02/24/rachel-maddow-interviews-former-abortion-provider-kristin-neuhaus-talks-threats-to-other-providers
The state of Kansas is trying to take Dr. Neuhaus's medical license away. The Board of Healing Arts meets this week and will vote to accept or reject the recommendation to revoke her license. This recommendation came after two weeks of testimony from several experts, including a doctor who admitted believing there was never a justification for any abortion - the state paid this doctor $100,000 for her testimony against Dr. Neuhaus.
