Susan Hill, a national women's rights advocate and the owner of several abortion clinics around the country, died last week from breast cancer.
Hill, who made her home in Raleigh, was 61.
Hill focused on establishing clinics in rural areas, where women had no access to abortion services, and opened more than anyone else in the United States, sometimes drawing 1,000 protesters at a time. She sued protesters 34 times for blocking entrances and physically preventing women from going in.
"She's probably the toughest person I ever knew," said her older brother Dan Hill, who lives in Durham. "She's the only person I knew who wore a bulletproof vest to work or was supposed to wear one to work. People really wanted to kill her, and she never flinched."

Hill, who was born in Durham and graduated from Meredith College with a social work degree in 1970, began her career in 1973 in a Florida abortion clinic outside Miami one week after the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, made abortion legal.

One of Hill's doctors in Florida, David Gunn, was killed in 1993 after being shot three times in the back by a protester, Michael Frederick Griffin, who is now serving a life sentence. Last year, Hill appeared on the "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC after Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed in his church where he was serving as an usher. Tiller was one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions.

Ironic cause of death. Breast cancer is a killer of those who have had abortions, so some science would suggest
Abortion rights. Who in their right mind thinks it’s a right to kill an innocent human being, their own child? That phrase always strikes me as being ridiculous and evil.
“Abortion rights pioneer dies at 61”

Just call this a late term abortion.
Susan, give our regards to Hitler and Stalin down there.
Now she needs Nomex.
I’ve just skipped denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, and gone straight to acceptance.
Good.
I’m certain that Susan Hill is now learning the true meaning of “Global Warming”.
That’s one final judgement I wouldn’t want to face.
It’s gonna be okay, Bruck.
We’ll all make it through this together. (sniff)
Yo Susan how is the weather in hell?
I can’t be sad about it. She wasn’t really a person, just some inanimate tissue.
LOL.
....and Ted Kennedy
“She’s probably the toughest person I ever knew,”
ROFL
What is the percentage of women who have had an abortion that also have breast cancer?
A woman who chooses to abort her own baby is an aberration - but a woman whose life is dedicated to aborting other womens’ babies is an abomination.
RIP? NO!
She has ripped too many from the wombs of others.
