Obama Should Withdraw Sebelius Nomination

Significant questions remain about Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' evolving relationship with a late-term abortion doctor as well as about her position on the practice of late-term abortions. The Senate should not vote, nor should Gov. Sebelius be confirmed, until these questions are answered fully and completely.

Gov. Sebelius has not been forthcoming about her relationship with Dr. Tiller, a late-term abortion doctor who is currently under investigation. She admitted the full extent of the political contributions she received from Dr. Tiller only after press reports contradicted her previous financial statements.

Gov. Sebelius must also make her position on the extremist and heinous practice of late-term abortions known to the American people. The vast majority of Americans do not support the concept of late-term abortions. They deserve to know whether President Obama's choice to be the nation's top health official supports these indefensible procedures.

Until Gov. Sebelius provides the American people with clear and complete answers to these questions, the U.S. Senate should not vote to confirm her nomination. If Gov. Sebelius and the Obama Administration are unwilling to answer these questions, President Obama should withdraw her nomination.
