How Sebelius ends up governor of Kansas still has be scratching my head. It doesn’t seem to add up.
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.
Please take her away from us.
