Dr. Richard Ragsdale died 10-23-2004. He was a true warrior for women's right to choose.
Dr. Ragsdale operated the Northern Illinois Women's Center. He provided women with the services necessary to exercise their right to choose.
After his death the clinic operations were taken over by a colleague who let the facility fall into a state of unacceptable operation and the clinic was closed permanently earlier this year.
I am sad that my son will never get to know his grandfather. We miss you Dick. Rest in peace.
Love You,
