In a victory of sorts, pro-abort Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison announced late last week that he was going to allow 19 criminal charges to be filed against notorious late term abortionist George Tiller. All of the charges are misdemeanors and are apparently related to Tiller’s systematic use of an employee as his “consulting physician” when committing abortions against viable babies in the womb.

In making his announcement, AG Morrison tried to downplay the significance of his decision to proceed against Tiller, describing the abortionist’s violation of Kansas law as merely “technical”. (When proceeding with a late term abortion, an abortionist in that state must obtain the concurrence of a second doctor in finding that a material health threat to the mother exists).
This is the latest twist in a long and disturbing morality play that has been on stage in Kansas for over two years.

Former Attorney General Phill Kline attempted to charge Dr. Tiller with some 30 criminal counts of performing illegal abortions on viable preborn children – but the notorious abortionist has a legion of defenders within the Kansas legal profession, including judges, prosecuting attorneys and Mr. Morrison himself. In fact, Morrison defeated Kline last year with huge bags of money provided by the abortionist Tiller.

In watching these developments closely over the past several years, we can only conclude that the evidence of Tiller’s misconduct before AG Morrison must be overwhelming – too massive for even this corrupt public official to sweep under the rug. We smell a deal in the works, one in which Tiller agrees to pay some substantial fines while his death machine remains unimpaired.
