Late-Term Abortion Practitioner George Tiller Will Stand Trial

[juliee]

Wichita, KS – A decision by a local judge means Kansas-based
late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller will stand trial
for charges that he did illegal abortions. Tiller has been
accused of violating state law requiring a second, independent,
physician to sign off on his late-term abortions.

Tiller was slapped with 19 criminal charges for failing to follow
the law and using a fellow abortion practitioner with whom he has
a financial relationship to claim the abortions were medically
necessary.

Thanks for this post, Juliee.

How in the world can an abortion be “medically necessary”? I am glad this monster is being prosecuted. How can someone like this sleep at night?

well the pro-abortion side tends to dehumanize the unborn so much that they become ambiguous to what they are actually doing and promoting.

Anyone care to place odds that if convicted, and governor Sebelius remains at her post, that he will be pardoned or his sentence commuted, perhaps at the behest of Obama?

These are only misdemeanor charges. Even if convicted, it wouldn’t affect him much.

Note that he is not being prosecuted because the abortions were not “medically necessary” for “health” reasons. The law is so vague that there is simply no way to prove that. The abortionist decides what is medically necessary for “health.”

The law merely requires that a second ‘independent’ doctor concur with his reasons. But the doctor whom he consistently used was not truly independent of him; that’s the reason for the misdemeanor charges.

Kansas law prohibits abortion except to save the mother’s life or if needed to prevent (to the mother) “irreversible harm to a major bodily function.”

Courts have interpreted mental health as a major bodily function.

A reason for a late term abortion is never second-guessed by a prosecutor or by the medical society. All that’s needed is another doctor to agree with him. But the two can’t have a financial relationship, as was apparently the case here.
