What a tremendous nut:
| quote: | (snip)
Attorney General Phill Kline, a Republican who has made fighting abortion a staple of his two years in the post, is demanding the complete medical files of scores of women and girls who had late-term abortions, saying on Thursday that he needs the information to prosecute criminal cases. Advocates on both sides of the abortion issue said the broad investigation, backed by a judge's subpoena [NYT, how about providing a name here? Who is this scandalous judge?], is the first of its kind in pursuit of criminal charges, although the federal Justice Department has unsuccessfully sought similar records in its defense of a ban on a procedure sometimes used to end pregnancies after the first trimester that doctors call intact dilation and extraction and that critics call partial-birth abortion.
Kansas is one of 31 states that have passed laws to ban or restrict the procedure. But Kansas does not ban it outright, allowing such abortions if women's health is endangered. Mr. Kline's efforts to obtain records from abortion clinics follows his failed attempt last year to require the state's health workers to report any sexual activity of girls younger than 16, the age of legal consent in Kansas.
Health-care providers sued, and a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order. Mr. Kline's new investigation could yield similar records. His effort became public this week when two clinics whose records are being subpoenaed filed a brief in State Supreme Court to block what they called a "secret inquisition" and "fishing expedition" that threatened the doctor-patient privilege and women's constitutional rights.
Noting that personal details like marital status, race, employment history and emergency contacts are in the records, lawyers for the clinics asked, "How can a woman's method of birth control or prior history of abortions or use of drugs and medications be relevant?"

If anyone thinks he's really after rapists, stop drinkin' the Kool-Aid now. This guy's a nutbag of immense proportions, and I think even the Libertarians here should be a bit outraged.
I love my blood-Red state!:rolleyes: |

this AG is a first class bus-size pile of steaming dung. what a wonderful idea of jailing women after such a painfully difficult and traumatizing experience.:rolleyes: how unchristian is this? **sigh**
maybe he's just posturing for a higher elected or appointed position. either way, this is a sick man. |

That must be the "royal we".
Lol. You have been suspiciously absent lately, Occ, but not as much as some others like Imokurok and the like. Good to have you back. Did you happen to see Dorothy while you were flying over Kansas? |

I went to Pagosa Springs/Durango Colorado for skiing. I was all excited to hear that I was going to land in Kansas. Saw a few twisters carrying away some farm houses, but that's pretty much all that happens in Kansas right ;)?
Anyway, I wanted to leave the airport to visit one of those midwest fundy churches that gets MisterOpus so riled up, but unfortunately I couldn't escape the airport bar :p. |
