Kathleen Sebelius Not Responsible for Reducing Abortions in Kansas

Supporters of Kathleen Sebelius’ nomination for director of the Health and Human Services (HHS) department claim she is responsible for reducing abortions in Kansas. This is simply untrue.

First of all, as Professor Michael New of the University of Alabama has pointed out, abortion statistics from Kansas are some of the most unreliable in the country. There are fluctuations in the numbers that are partly due to changes in reporting and not the actual incidence of abortion (Michael New, Assistant Professor, University of Alabama, personal correspondence, March 5, 2009).

And if the Kansas abortion statistics are taken at face value, it is true that the number of abortions declined by about seven percent between 2003 and 2007. However, that percentage is merely part of a long-term abortion decline in Kansas that began in 1999, four years before Sebelius took office in 2003! more...

Katie Couric? Will she mention this?

Sebelius claims she reduced abortions??? She personally took money from Tiller and shielded him to allow him to continue late-term abortions. This is a huge lie, even by RAT standards. This would be like Clinton claiming he captured Bin Laden.
