This hearing will start February 21 at the Kansas Board of Discipline of Attorneys, 701 SW Jackson Street, Topeka, Kansas. It is open to the public.
Below is an email from Deborah Kline, Phill's wife, explaining many more details of the case. It is a fairly long read, but explains many details of this case.

D E B O R A H S H A T T U C K – K L I N E
Dear Friends “For Life”:
Thank you … a deep and heart felt thank you for your willingness to stand for the truth while extending Truth’s grace. It has become a privilege to be humbled to the message and mission for the Sanctity of Life a long side your numerous efforts.
This email is the first report as promised, of the Criminal Charges Filed against Planned Parenthood in Kansas. A series of shorter reports will follow and provide you summaries of various portions of this story.
I know that your time is valuable and you’re extraordinarily busy and I appreciate your interest in the fight in Kansas. Please take the five minutes to read this email as it will give you an overview of what is happening. Please share it with others.
Future reports will be much shorter with bullet points and with links to supporting documents.
Also, a new website is being prepared with original documents (which are currently public) and will demonstrate the corruptions of Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry. The critical message throughout this story is the direct impact of this case upon the rule of law throughout our nation.
Background /Description of the Issues At Stake
As you know, the abortion industry lives a lie. The Kansas abortion story teaches us that where there is no recognition of truth – there can be no recognition of law.
The Kansas abortion story is about the destruction of human life AND the destruction of the rule of law. As such, this story is inextricably linked to the future of our nation and our movement. Without the recognition of truth as expressed in law, there can be no “self-evident” rights endowed by our Creator. Without the rule of law we have no constitutional rights or freedoms.
This is what has happened to my husband Phill. He confronted the lie with the law and now the lie seeks to destroy Phill with more lies. Today, Phill remains the only prosecutor in our nation’s history to obtain records from Planned Parenthood by judicial subpoena and then successfully file criminal charges against this $1 billion corporation. Three separate judges found probable cause on four separate occasions that the evidence supported 107 criminal acts by Planned Parenthood, including 23 felonies.
These criminal charges directly threaten hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue to Planned Parenthood. If convicted, Planned Parenthood stands to lose more than $325 million in annual federal (taxpayer) funding.
Planned Parenthood recognized this threat early on. In 2006, Planned Parenthood issued a news release identifying 15 persons they called “Domestic Terrorists.” Phill was on the list. He was in good company with Chief Justice John Roberts, Dr. James Dobson, Father Frank Pavone and others. Most telling, however, was that Phill was the only elected official so targeted. There was not a single Governor, U.S. Senator, or Congressman on the list – only Phill. This industry recognized early on the threat a prosecutor represented to their bottom line.
Although the prolife community is to be commended for passing legislation to protect life, it has not focused on enforcing those laws. Think about it, every law passed by a legislature and signed into law by a governor to protect innocent human life is useless, unless it is enforced, either by our behavior or within a courtroom by a prosecutor. Well Phill was that prosecutor. So, for fulfilling his duty to enforce the law, Phill has been sued on multiple occasions by both Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller.
The Kansas abortion industry, chiefly Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller, have been protected by a Kathleen Sebelius appointed Kansas Supreme Court. Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller were two of largest campaign contributors to then-Governor Sebelius and her trickle down money to pro-abortion Kansas politicians. [Note: Kansas is nationally recognized as having the most closed system of selecting justices in the nation – the Governor appoints them for life without legislative confirmation.] Then-Governor Sebelius, now HHS Secretary Sebelius, appointed five of the seven Kansas Justices, including Justice Carole Beier, a former lawyer with the National Women’s Law Center.
Here are just two brief examples of how this Sebelius Supreme Court has subverted the rule of law in the criminal case against Planned Parenthood:
1. In one of many closed hearings held by the Court to derail Phill’s prosecution, a key witness (a judge) testified that he had authorized a subpoena for Planned Parenthood abortion records and had determined, with the aid of a forensic expert, that the records were fraudulent. The Court’s response? It forbade the witness to testify further regarding his findings in any further proceedings against Planned Parenthood. The Court’s order was so contrary to law that Fox News Legal Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano stated that the Kansas Supreme Court Justices should be “impeached”!
2. On another occasion, the Court ordered a secret trial during which the criminal defendant, Planned Parenthood, put Phill and his staff attorneys under oath and cross-examined them. This trial took more than one week and the Court buried the official report of the trial for six months. To make matters worse, the official letter clearing Phill was buried for two years and was only discovered when going through 30,000 documents in preparation for the current disciplinary hearing.
Current Status of the Original Case against Planned Parenthood and their Goals in this Hearing
Remarkably, Phill’s case against Planned Parenthood is still filed with the Johnson County District Court and a waiting trial. Even a hostile Sebelius Supreme Court cannot figure out how to kill the case – and so they must kill Phill. The abortion industry, in Kansas and nationally, wants to send the message to any prosecutor seeking to enforce the abortion laws – do so at your peril.
The Sebelius Supreme Court has ordered its Disciplinary Administrator for Attorneys to seek to remove Phill’s law license. In doing so they are attempting to shift scrutiny from the criminal charges against Planned Parenthood and instead are attacking the prosecutor who filed those charges. In short, the Sebelius Supreme Court is seeking to kill the “message” by killing the “messenger”. Bottom line: If the Sebelius Supreme Court can claim prosecutorial misconduct in bringing the criminal charges, then it will bury the case without further scrutiny.
On February 21, Phill will begin a trial brought by the Kansas Disciplinary Administrator to remove Phill’s law license. “The Kansas Disciplinary Administrator's Office is a state agency in the judicial branch working under the direction of the Kansas Supreme Court.”
The following are a few of the allegations against Phill:
1. Phill’s “personal prolife beliefs” represent an unethical “conflict of interest” in his investigation and prosecution of the clinics – an investigation and prosecution that has resulted in three independent judges on four separate occasions finding probable cause to believe that the abortion clinics committed 137 criminal acts, including 23 felonies.
This allegation against Phill is a direct assault on our core personal beliefs and the First Amendment itself. In making this allegation, the Disciplinary Administrator holds abortion clinics above the law. This effort must be condemned, not just in Kansas but also nationally. If we don’t stand together now we may not have a place to stand in the future.
The allegation also is patently absurd. I know Phill is anti-rape and anti-murder, but he certainly has prosecuted his share of rapists and murderers.
2. The Court claims it was unethical for Phill not to order his investigators to fully brief the Sebelius Administration regarding the complete nature and scope of his investigation at its earliest stages.
Neither Phill nor any law enforcement official has a duty to brief potential witnesses about an investigation. Doing so could jeopardize the investigation itself. And that is what then-Governor Sebelius was – a witness. It was her agency, Social and Rehabilitation Services That was charged with the legal responsibility to receive and maintain reports of child rape from the abortion clinics. In fact, as soon as Sebelius and her legal staff learned of the investigation, they began initiating roadblocks to the investigation. Bottom line: Phill did not have any duty to tell Sebelius and the law does not place any such duty on him.
3. The Disciplinary Administrator claims Phill could not investigate failure to report child rape unless a child actually came forward to complain that their rape was not reported. This defeats the very purpose of mandatory child rape reporting laws.
Phill knows through investigating and /or prosecuting hundreds of child sexual abuse cases that children do not report their own rapes and certainly do not report that someone else failed to report their rapes.
Public information in Kansas revealed that about 75 children 14 years of age and younger have abortions each year in Kansas. So, who in law enforcement is looking out for our children, especially if the reports required by our laws, to protect our children, are never seen or assessed?
Kansas Supreme Court Interference:
Remarkably, when the Disciplinary Administrators investigation against Phill first began, the Sebelius Supreme Court actually hired two independent attorneys as investigators. These investigators issued their report in June of 2008 and it was buried. This investigation report was only discovered amongst 30,000 pages of documents generated in investigating Phill. Note: That report concludes Phill did nothing wrong – yet, the Court and its Disciplinary Administrator are moving forward to remove his law license anyway.
Phill has incurred extraordinary personal legal expense. As a result, he has been forced to seek assistance in paying more than $200,000… just to keep the criminal case alive, as well as, defending the ethics charges which are now in their fifth year.
The following helps illustrate the depth of corruption in Kansas:
• Phill’s investigation of the abortion clinics amounted to one subpoena to each clinic and one witness deposition, due to roadblocks put up by the Sebelius Supreme Court.
• Meanwhile, the Sebelius Supreme Court and Planned Parenthood have investigated Phill. Placed Phill and his administration through a secret trial ordered by the Court at the behest of Planned Parenthood, dozens of depositions, 30,000 pages of investigative documents and scores of witness interviews and being himself investigated for over five years. All as a result of seeking to enforce the very laws passed by the state that is now seeking to take away his license to practice law.
Your Involvement Is Needed: Your willingness to learn about this case and to witness the corrupting influence of Planned Parenthood on our courts and the rule of law is crucial. Planned Parenthood and the Kansas Supreme Court are trying to set a precedent that does not allow prosecutors to be prolife.
The official 107 criminal counts against Planned Parenthood are still awaiting trial in the Johnson County District Court. Despite all these efforts and lawsuit to destroy Phill’s case, the case still exists. That is because Phill has won on the law every time throughout this case.
Since Planned Parenthood can’t beat Phill on the law, they must destroy Phill and discredit him personally (and professionally) so people will not listen and believe.
Phill is now forced to defend himself before a subjective panel appointed by the Sebelius Supreme Court addressed by a Disciplinary Administrator appointed by the Sebelius Supreme Court and, ultimately, the Sebelius Supreme Court will review the decision and decide any punishment!
IF ALLOWED TO CONDUCT THESE PROCEEDINGS, WITHOUT A NATIONAL VOICE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, THE COURT WILL SUBJECTIVELY FIND FAULT IN A NON-LEGAL ISSUE AND MAKE IT A LEGAL PRECEDENT.
WITHOUT A NATIONAL VOICE THE ONLY VOICE HEARD WILL BE THE SAME KANSAS MEDIA that won a national “Maggie Award” from Planned Parenthood for how they treated Phill in this investigation. The Kansas City Star ran an editorial cartoon portraying my husband as a child molester with his hands up a little girl’s skirt, because he was “invading privacy.”
The serious nature of this problem in not limited to Kansas alone. The forces aligned against us will not simply stop after removing one prosecutor’s law license as punishment for trying to hold Planned Parenthood accountable to the law.
Be assured, they will use Phill’s case as an example to keep themselves above the law. This case affects us all.
We have the proof… but we need your voice.
This is the first in a series of summaries you will receive to help you understand this case. Please keep these accessible for future reference. I also ask that you share this far and wide.
Soon, we will have an additional website which will have copies of original documents attached for you to see what is taking place. These documents are now matters of public record and prove the corruption that has protected Planned Parenthood. As we send you updates, we ask that you send out notices to your Email list and include information about this case in your newsletters.
We desperately need your prayer support, your time to know this case, your voice to the loss of the rule of law in Kansas. If Planned Parenthood successfully wins this case, they have defeated the rule of law.

Big Murder is trying to destroy Phill Kline.
Please share this thread with Deborah and Phill.
The judicial system in Kansas has been completely and thoroughly corrupted by Kathleen Sebelius in order to circumvent justice for the late Dr. George Tiller and Planned Parenthood. The baby murder industry poured hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars into the coffers of the Democrat party to protect themselves from Phil Kline who caught them breaking the law. Sebelius and her corrupt courts delivered, and now they want to make an example of Kline so that no other prosecutor will have the courage to go after them. Given the recent videotape expose of Planned Parenthood, its easy to understand why this is so important to them.
What is equally amazing is how many Kansans are completely unaware that this is going on. The Kansas City Star and the Kansas media have done their best to bury the bad news and demonize Kline. People have been told that the elitist Kansas system of judicial appointment without any confirmation process or effective removal process provides “an honest and corruption free judiciary”. In fact, it has delivered the exact opposite. The Kansas bar has clearly understood that they had to play ball with Sebelius and it remains to be seen if Brownback will do anything to roll it back.

If everyone calls and floods this office with questions about this hearing it accomplishes two important things:
1. It lets them know they are being watched
2. They are so familiar and comfortable doing things in secret and away from public eyes they keep moving around the time and place.
This holds them more accountable.
Details which are needed include: times, location, room number, do you need to register to be present in the room? Open seating? Specific Dates of the hearing…. As they keep extending and changing this information to accommodate Stan Haslet, the prosecuting attorney
Just learned that the panel also set aside Wednesday March 2 for hearing. Accordingly, the hearing will run from Feb. 21 beginning at 8 am and ending Wed. March 2 at 6 pm.
Please email me at mariaholiday08@gmail.com if you plan to attend one of these days. If you cannot attend, we would appreciate your prayers and fasting.
Some examples of how ridiculous this kangaroo court is:
1. The previous AG fired Phills first attorney; then fired his second attorney as they were getting ready for trial.
2. The previous AG then appointed an attorney late last September who is not ready for trial. Remember over 5 years investigating Phill and accumulating over 30,000 pages of documents) which need to be reviewed before Phill should go to trial….
3. The case against Phill has been formed over five years of investigation.
4. The prosecutor in the case, went to hearing in late January and announced his new charges and new theories. (they have never closed the investigation against Phill –so whenever they get a new idea they throw it into the mix… the problem? Well, I hope you can see layers of problems this creates…..time and preparation have to have a direction, if the direction keeps changing, it waste time, $ , energy in building a sound defense…. To name a few….
5. Phills new attorneys asked for a continuance: stating that they were not ready and had to respond to new charges. This motion was denied.
6. The prosecutor, who has had five years to bring this case, then announces he cannot complete his case and needs a continuance. The panel, without checking about Phill’s availability, expanded the hearing dates set in February and gave the prosecutor an indefinite extension to present part of his case later. No one checked with Phill when this hearing date was set. Knowing he is teaching in a law school they set the hearing dates in the exact middle of the semester…..
Please join us in standing up with Phill!
I’m so glad you all posted this. I will cut & paste into an email & send to everyone I know, even our grassroots pro-life group in Pittsburgh.
I’m in Pittsburgh, so there isn’t much chance I can join you in Kansas in March BUT you’ve all got my prayers!!!! For sure. It tickles me to think this will be going on during the 40 Days for Life campaign! That can’t be coincidence!! All those pro-life prayers will be surrounding your cause so take comfort.
Sebelius stinks!!! I think I puked in my mouth a little bit when Obama appointed her. I knew she was a leftie, but the depth of corruption was beyond anything I ever imagined. Sick!!
I guess if people can be subjected to the death penalty for the “crime” of being cognitively disabled, and babies can be executed without even bothering with a court order for the “crime” of being too young, then lawyers can be disbarred for the “crime” of being Christians.
Prayers up.
I might also add, that he was the only Atty. General of the State of KS (as well as many other pols of both parties since Tiller began his "business") not to accept either Tiller millions or Planned Parenthood PAC.
Note on Tiller: He was always happy to tell anyone who inquired that he "learned his skill" under the tutelage of his physician father, who performed illegal abortions in KS prior to 1973 decision that aborting babies was a "woman's right."
I know that this issue is not on the front page today but a defense must be had and Phill's defense so far has taken most of the family's income - no donation is too small to matter.
Thank you!
Thanks for the ping!
Ping for PhilKlineKS. Wish there was more that could be done.
Ok who do we write?
Here’s a post with the phone number to call:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2670116/posts?page=17#8
I just send you a private email...please let me know that you got it.
I think he was a Johnson Co. prosecutor(R) and was run by Sebelius as a (Democrat) to defeat Klien(R) for state AG and shut down the PP investigation ?? and then later caught dallying with another woman and had to resign.....?? a little sketchy here on the facts but really eye opening as to the lengths the KS admin will go to in order to protect PP. The Kansas city RED star also assisted these efforts .
