Notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller has been charged:
Kansas' attorney general, a vocal abortion opponent, has filed criminal charges against Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, the doctor's attorney said Friday.HT: JivinJAttorney Dan Monnat did not identify the charges, and officials in Attorney General Phill Kline's office did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Update: Tiller's said the charges involved the mental health exception provided in Kansas law for late-term abortions. I don't if it is directly related, but it was Bill O’Reilly who publicized Tiller's use of depression as an excuse to perform late term abortion under the state’s mental health exception.

Last week, The O'Reilly Factor" aired a sobering if not heart wrenching segment concerning that late term abortion given to a juvenile by Tiller. Identified only as "Kelly", the woman related how, at age 14, she was taken by her parents from Maryland to Kansas and given an abortion in the 20th week of pregnancy. The trip was necessary because the abortion was illegal in her home state.

I dunno. O'Reilly is proceeding on the assumption that people care about girls like Kelly. I'm beginning to think all they care about is their own convenience -- They want to be sure that when they want to ram an abortion down somebody's throat, nobody will stand in their way.
