Washington, DC -- White House officials have acknowledged that abortion and the controversy surrounding embattled late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller are holding up President Barack Obama's potential selection of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to become the next Health Secretary.

Thanks for posting.
Interesting:

Sebelius won the governorship with large donations from Tiller, who is currently on trial for allegedly doing illegal abortions.
She appointed abortion practitioner Howard Ellis - who gave up his medical license in Missouri to avoid disciplinary action - to the Kansas Board of Healing Arts. That’s the agency that is responsible for monitoring medical staff and centers to make sure they comply with the law. Ellis was later charged by the Board with attempting to persuade a physician to falsify records.
Sebelius also appointed a supporter of Tiller’s political action committee and pro-abortion activist to the Human Rights Commission, which pro-life advocates considered an irony.
Sebelius’ hand-picked attorney general, Paul Morrison, ran for office as a defender of the abortion industry. After only a few months in office, he was forced to resign amidst reports of having sex in public buildings with a subordinate and abusing his authority to obstruct the investigation of abortion practitioners.

Wow that’s great. Late term abortion is an inconvenience for President infanticide.
Besides, this White House? Support for abortion and abortionists would be a badge of honor and not a hinderance.
WOW! This woman really is an abomination. Maybe even too much for the Obamination. That is saying a lot.
How Sebelius ends up governor of Kansas still has be scratching my head. It doesn’t seem to add up.
“WOW! This woman really is an abomination. Maybe even too much for the Obamination. That is saying a lot.”
obama probably doesn’t want us remembering how infantacide friendly he is. He’s really the guy who likes to tuck in his kids and read them bedtime stories.
Tiller, if convicted, will probably be getting a presidential pardon down the line.
She just needs to follow “the formula” that D’s use:
1) Blame it on a problem with software
2) Return the contribution
See that’s easy, she’ll sail right through now.
Just a slight delay...she’ll be approved...eventually.
* Last week Jesse Waters from The O’Reilly Factor confronted Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on the streets of Philadelphia.
On another note, we were curious what Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius thought of recent criminal charges against Dr. George Tiller, so-called named “Tiller the Baby Killer.” As “The Factor” has been reporting, this man will terminate fetuses at any time for $5,000. http://kansasmeadowlark.com/2008/07/17/the-factor-confronts-governor-kathleen-sebelius/
* Sebelius is called George Tillers Governor
Wichita, KS - Jul 31, 2006 Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston has issued a statement indicating that the Grand Jury and concluded its work and failed to indict abortionist George R. Tiller on charges related to the third- trimester abortion death of Christin Gilbert, who died after Tiller aborted her in January, 2005.

* Currently, Kansas abortion clinics are not licensed nor inspected. The current oversight of abortion clinics comes only from the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts which licenses doctors but does not inspect nor license clinics, does not set clinical standards, and does not keep records of injuries nor maternal deaths except if a lawsuit is filed.
Sebelius has vetoed in 2003 & 2005 legislation that would have required proper inspections & licensing. Legislation passed the State House and the State Senate in 2003 and again in 2005, but the Governor vetoed the legislation.
On April 21, 2008, Sebelius vetoed SB 389, titled the Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act by its sponsors. http://www.ontheissues.org/Kathleen_Sebelius.htm
* Woman Hospitalized From Botched Abortion Dies From Complications http://www.lifenews.com/state836.html
* Vetoed Conceal Carry
On March 21, 2006, she vetoed Senate Bill 418, a similar concealed-carry bill. On March 25, Sebelius’s veto was overturned after the Kansas House of Representatives voted 91-33 to override it.
* Sebelius has used her appointee, Rod Bremby, to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to make up new regulations independently of the Kansas legislature to block the construction of new coal power plants in Western Kansas. In effect, Gov. Sebelius is using strong-arm tactics to force her policy on the utility industry and the people of Kansas, instead of allowing the free-market to address the issue.

* In 2006 Sebelius was fined for violating campaign finance laws, but that story was not widely reported. The Topeka Capital-Journal, April 28, 2006, explains in Sebelius fined $1500: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20060428/ai_n16483879
* Kansas Gov. Sebelius Vetoes Voter ID Law http://crooksandliars.com/2008/05/20/kansas-gov-sebelius-vetoes-voter-id-law
* Race baiter : “Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” Sebelius asked in response to a question about why the election is so close. “That may be a factor. All the code language, all that doesn’t show up in the polls. And that may be a factor for some people.” http://iowaindependent.com/5627/sebelius-obamas-race-may-be-a-factor
* Sebelius’s overspending on unnecessary programs, and unwillingness to heed warnings last year from the Republican-led state legislature that a failure to trim budgetary fat would lead to a 2009 crisis, put Kansas’ state government... Sebelius responded to the GOP’s refusal to sign off on illegal borrowing, and its passage of a budget cut bill, by accusing Republicans of “playing political games.”

* DNC letter to FreeRepublic: Stop Lying about Howard Dean, and Gov Sebelius...OR ELSE! A post by “coffee260” on FreeRepublic.com today states that this morning, on the Quinn & Rose show on XM, co-host Quin stated that the DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean had called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans) “around 5:00am on morning after a tornado destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with here what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1831946/posts
* Kansas Governor knowingly lied at behest of Howard Dean. The governor of Kansas was on a radio station this morning being interviewed and she admitted to politicizing the tornado and blaming Bush and the federal government for lack of response.

GOV. KATHLEEN SEBELIUS (D), KANSAS: About 50 percent of our trucks are gone. Our front loaders are gone. We are missing humvees that move people in and out and we cannot borrow them from other states because their equipment is gone.
GRIFFIN: The White House was quick to counter, saying 88 percent of Kansas's National Guardsmen are available to help with the cleanup and only 566 of their guardsman are deployed to Iraq right now. The Pentagon, citing National Guard statistics, said today the Kansas guard is not facing any equipment shortage that would harm its rescue efforts. It currently has 352 humvees, 72 dump trucks and more than 320 other trucks.
White House Spokesman Tony Snow said Homeland Security Chief Fran Townsend called Governor Sebelius and asked if she needed more help from FEMA or neighboring National Guard units.
TONY SNOW, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: And Fran again said, is there anything you need to respond effectively to this disaster? The governor said, no, we could not have asked for a faster response.
GRIFFIN: A view echoed today by the head of the rescue effort in Kansas. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,271070,00.html

Finally something is coming back to bite that witch!
Blood Money.
Gee I guess “The One” is feeling “burdened”
Also, the anti-abortion types, the prolife types, in this state, have handed Tiller some victories, due to the internal fighting between the various factions.
Want irony?
Kansas enacted a law, prior to Roe, that allowed abortions if second opinions were sought, and under some other regs.
Then, Roe v Wade and Doe v Dolten and Kansas law is ignored due to SCOTUS actions.
Then? The National Right to Life affiliate, Kansans for Life, tries to get “parental consent” laws passed, in Kansas.
The American Life Lobby affiliate, Right to Life of Kansas, opposed that initiative because it was not “pure” enough for them. RTLK stated, “Nobody should give consent to an abortion, not even the parent of a minor child” and insisted that they wanted “parental notice” laws, instead.
I personally called Judy Brown, ALL President, and asked her to explain WHY ALL had supported Parental Consent Legislation in other states.
She basically had to admit that it was political. RTLK did not want KFL or NRL to have a legislative victory.
The hard core, “no compromise” people, on the prolife side, have given Kansas the most liberal abortion laws in the Country.
Women fly in from New York to have abortions here, because our laws are so bad.
And, this happened because George Tiller and the RTLK types were on the SAME side a few years back.
More irony?
When prolife Democrat Governor Joan Finney (rest her soul) signed prolife legislation into law, the RTLK - ALL radicals gave her hell for it. Why? They said, at that time, that the Kansas law that was struck down by Roe and by Doe were STRICTER than the bill Joan Finney signed into law.
However?
Tiller is NOW being charged with breaking laws that Joan Finney put into place, with her very signature, on the day that the prolife radicals were calling her a traitor!
This is a war, and we must do whatever it takes to reduce the money of the enemy, and to trip up and confuse the enemy, and to take the enemy to court.
Some, in this battle, wish to debate who is the most pure, who is the most prolife.
The abortion battle must be waged like every other political battle.
The radicals have been wrong, time and time again, in Kansas.
Every positive step that has taken place, in this state, is due to the political skills of the National Right to Life Association and Kansans for Life.
