Operation Rescue sends the following report and commentary concerning charges that were filed against late-term abortionist George Tiller:
Attorney General Paul Morrison has announced that he is filing 19 misdemeanor charges against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller because he used a second physician that was not financially or legally unassociated with him, as required by law.Operation Rescue has been reporting since August, 2006, that they suspected that Tiller's association with Dr. Ann Kristen Neuhaus was an illegal one. Neuhaus was listed as a witness when Former Attorney General Phill Kline filed 30 criminal charges against Tiller last December. Those charges were dismissed on shaky jurisdictional grounds.
In his announcement, Morrison trivialized the murder of late-term children by calling the charges a "technical violations."
"While we are happy that charges are being filed against Tiller, we are guarded about this because we believe that these charges are the weakest against Tiller. There is now a pattern of illegal activity by abortionist Tiller and Kline's investigation is proven to have merit," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
"Now, because we have charges on the 2003 records, we insist that Morrison subpoena the 2004 and 2005 abortion records. Furthermore, in order for justice to be done, the criminal late-term abortion charges against Tiller, as supported by Psychiatrist Dr. Paul McHugh must be reinstated," said Newman.
Kline filed 15 charges alleging illegal late-term abortion were committed by Tiller for reasons such as so a woman could go to a rock concert.
"We believe the filing of charges against Tiller vindicates Kline's investigation of Tiller," said Newman. "There is a pattern of abuses and illegal activity that is going on at Tiller's mill. This is just the tip of the iceberg."
There once was an AG named Kline Who said late term abortions arent fine But Tiller said no
The baby must go
So cut up the tot till we kill'er
Morrison's sudden ephphany (Gosh, he did break the law!) coupled with the mealy-mouthed backpeddling (But it was a paltry, insignificant, petty technical violation) leads me to believe that this is a political move. Tiller will plea-bargain and promise to stop being so naughty, he'll get fined fifty bucks, and he'll just set up a network of sympathetic supporters like Warren Hern and David Grimes to rubber-stamp his paperwork instead of having just Neuhaus.
This is like Paris Hilton's jail house epiphany. I'll believe it when I see fruits.
You must read this article, which was buried in the KC Star. http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/170010.html
The same doctor in cahoots with Tiller did an abortion on someone who had change her mind.
Norita, it's nice that at least the KC newspaper is noting this.
