Charges against Kan. abortion doc dumped [George Tiller]

WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas' attorney general, a vocal abortion opponent, charged a well-known abortion provider with illegally performing late-term abortions, but a Sedgwick County judge on Friday threw out the charges after less than a day.

Judge Paul W. Clark dismissed the charges against Tiller after Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston said her office had not been consulted by Kline.

Clark signed his one-page order only hours after Kline's complaint against Tiller was unsealed.

Attorney General Phill Kline's office did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Kline lost his re-election bid in November and leaves office in three weeks.

Most of the 30 misdemeanor counts Kline filed against Dr. George Tiller involve abortions performed on patients 17 or younger, including a 10-year-old, according to the criminal complaint unsealed Friday in Sedgwick County District Court.

Tiller's clinic, known for being one of the few in the country to perform late-term abortions, has been a high-profile target of anti-abortion protesters for decades. The clinic was bombed in 1985, and Tiller was shot in both arms by a protester in 1993.

Kline has been investigating whether Tiller and other abortion providers performed illegal late-term abortions in Kansas or failed to report suspected child abuse as required by law.

He waged a two-year legal battle before finally this year obtaining the records of 90 patients from Tiller's Wichita clinic and a clinic operated in Overland Park by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

Since the election, abortion rights activists have expected him to move against Tiller and perhaps Planned Parenthood, as well.

Scary isn't it?

It's horrifying. George Tiller boasts of killing full-term babies. He photographs them in baby clothes. He has some of them baptized! Then he burns their corpses in his backyard incinerator. And we have FReepers who defend what he does because they are into "personal liberty" or some such nonsense.

"....I further expect that noone from DA Foulston's office will be appearing."

She had frequently been a FNC talking-head lawyer until the BTK Killer case was solved.

Why do you LIE about Judge Greer following the law after months of legal hearings and thousands of hours of legal involvement? Few cases consumed the resources that the Schindlers imposed of the taxpayers and it STILL isn't enough to stop the slanders of fanatics.

There was not one lie in my post and you know it too.

But in the interest of not turning this thread into a Terry Schiavo redux, I will just suggest that YOU take the time to do some serious research into the countless conflicts of interest that Greer had concerning the Schiavo case, look into the interlocking relationships between Greer, Michael Schiavo, and Schiavo's attorney George Felos.

Terri Schiavo was murdered by the State of Florida, by order of Judge George Greer, aided and abetted by George Felos and his client Michael Schiavo.

Your attempt to bleed for the taxpayers is as phony as the arguments advanced by Felos in Greer's court. The only fanatics at work in that sad episode, were the fanatics that were consumed with a lust for death, and couldn't wait to see Terri Schiavo executed by starvation and by dehydration.

When your time comes to leave this life my non-FRiend, I wish for you as peaceful a passing as Terri Schiavo.

We're done here.

Bug off.

Does the EPA know?

An environmental lawsuit is likely the only way to shut down this little Buchenwald.

You will likely be attacked by the fanatics as "Pro-death".

Being called a "fanatic" by the cheerleaders for those who murder full term babies is a badge of honor.

Would you please show me what part of the Constitution gives one the right to murder/abort a child in the last part of a pregnancy? What about the very young child that is brought in for an abortion? What is the legal age of consent in KS? 10 years, 12 years old, 13 years old. Could it be that these children were raped and what happened to the rapist? Nothing, that's what. At least, the AG was attempting to right this wrong.

Dear Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston,

A 10 year old being pregnant is prima facie evidence of rape. Why are you uninterested in the rape of a 10 year old?

“…The District Court has reviewed the Attorney General’s legal theories and has determined that the Attorney General stands on firm legal ground…The District Court has further determined that relevant evidence is contained in the medical files which may constitute evidence of possible violations of the law…No patient can be identified from the review of any medical file…”. - Response to Petition for Mandamus by Respondent Richard D. Anderson, District Judge, Filed with Kansas Supreme Court Nov. 27, 2006.

Obviously, it wasn't your daughter that was killed.

Kline is an idiot and provides a convenient target with which to tar all pro-life people. His disregard for the Constitution he allegedly serves is appalling (not just here, where he files charges that he had to know would be immediately tossed, but in many other cases). I am glad he has been bounced.

No, you are an idiot. A late term abortion performed on a 10 year old is evidence of rape that even you should recognize.

I was speaking in general about your medical records--not about this very "special" case where the politically protected abortionist flouts regular evidence gathering.

If you're involved in a civil case, your records become public or nearly-public pretty darned fast. Abortionists seem to have protections other defendants do not.

Ever since Nov 8 I have sensed a peculiar current on FR--it be interesting to do some research, but I believe there are a lot of seminar guests pretending to be conservative. It'd be a pretty smart move on the part of the liberals--and it'd be some Soros money very well spent.

Heh. Next time I'm in New York City, I'll tip my hat to the Statue of Nonsense.

IMO Bill O'Reilly’s excellent and persistent reporting has been a major factor in the exposure of this hideous human imposter known as Tiller the Killer.

I hope Bill goes after the “judge” who tossed out the charges so quickly. I have no doubt he’s a supporter of the holocaust of abortion.

Last night Bill had on Judge Napolitano to discuss Tiller and today Fox covered the court filing so major Kudos to Bill and Fox News!

We should all send a word of thanks and encouragement to Bill for doing this. The man has done a tremendous service in exposing this most evil crime to the public.

Bill if you read this, God bless you.
