Shame of Kansas

"No matter what you think about the abortion issue, you should be very disturbed by what continues to happen in Kansas. Dr. George Tiller, known as 'Tiller the Baby Killer' is performing late-term abortions without defining the specific medical reasons why. Let's be more blunt: Tiller is executing fetuses in his Wichita clinic for $5,000, and records show he'll do it for vague medical reasons. Some Kansas politicians want to stop the madness, but Governor Kathleen Sebelius is protecting Tiller. Citing privacy, the governor vetoed a bill that would have forced Tiller to provide a specific medical reason for destroying a viable fetus. Tiller has killed thousands of late-term fetuses without explanation, and Governor Sebelius is allowing him to continue the slaughter. How the governor sleeps at night is beyond me. Once again, this isn't about a woman's right to choose; this is about late-term abortions for just about any reason. Dr. Tiller has blood on his hands, and so does Governor Sebelius. She is not fit to serve; nor is any Kansas politician who supports Tiller's business of destruction. I wouldn't want to be these people if there is a judgment day."

The Factor was joined by Kansas State Representative Ben Hodge, who complained that his state has become a leading provider of late-term abortions. "Many people aren't aware that late term abortions are legal, and we in Kansas are a central location. Most of the late term abortions are performed on women from other states." Hodge also accused Governor Sebelius of using the issue for political gain. "The governor has a lot riding on this. She'd like to be either a vice presidential candidate or a cabinet member, or she'll run for the Senate in 2010." The Factor reported that abortionist Tiller has given campaign contributions to Governor Sebelius since 1994. "Kansas is a great state, but this is a disgrace upon everyone who lives there. I can not believe that in a state like Kansas that politicians in both parties allow this doctor to kill these late-term fetuses without any specific medical reason."
