Sarah Silverman salutes abortion providers as she proudly makes some noise from her balcony during her nightly tribute to healthcare workers
She has been faithfully paying tribute to healthcare workers on a regular basis from her balcony.
But Sarah Silverman specifically made some noise for abortion providers on Sunday.
The actress, 49, proudly banged her pan from her New York balcony as she marked the anniversary of the death of Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider who was murdered at age 67 exactly 11 years ago.

Sarah beamed with joy as she clapped together her tongs and pan alongside a friend, who was also banging together kitchen supplies.
The actress enjoyed the mild spring weather in a sporty purple top, camouflage print trousers, and a dark beanie placed atop her midnight black hair.
She shielded her eyes behind a pair of clear shades, which added a cool touch to her dressed down look.
Arms resting on the railing of her balcony, Sarah had a sense of peace to her as she banged the kitchen utensil against her metallic pot.

Can you hear me? The actress spoke over her noise making
Hours earlier, Sarah urged her followers to specifically salute abortion providers during their nightly applause to healthcare workers.
‘TONIGHT AT 7 wherever you are, Join in dedicating your salute to essential workers to abortion providers,’ Sarah wrote on Instagram.
‘This is the anniversary of the assassination of Dr Tiller, and we are honoring him and all those who are providing abortion care. #abortion #feminism #essentialworkers #clapforourcarers #clap4abortionproviders.’

Sarah also showed her solidarity with those protesting in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after since-fired police officer Derek Chauvin held him down with a knee to the back of his neck.
‘We haven’t posted until now about what is happening in the world,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘We are heartbroken and tired and so so sad. We want to do more to help than just post on social media. There are things we know how to do. We can put our skills to work for those who have taken to the streets. If you need legal counsel we are here.
‘If you are somewhere we can not help we will use our network built from fifteen plus years of criminal defense and social justice work to find you help. I went to law school to fight against mass incarceration, the prison industrial complex and the systemic racism, poverty and oppression the government machine thrives on. Now more than ever we need to turn our words into action and our thoughts into progress. Let us know if you need us. We love you.’
