Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.
07/ 22/08Last year, Planned Parenthood performed more than 250,000 abortions, which account for about 1 in 5 of our country's total. Of all abortions, those performed for black women accounted for about a third of the procedures. It's also worth noting that a majority of Planned Parenthood's clinics are in minority neighborhoods.

07/ 15/08Democratic and Republican candidates must reject donations from Planned Parenthood this election year, and Congress should end all federal funding for the abortion provider, according to black pro-life leaders who held two press conferences last week in Washington, D.C., at Democratic and Republican Party Committee headquarters.
07/ 03/08For the last few decades, evangelicals repeatedly have mobilized and demonstrated to oppose the operation of abortion clinics. Over the years, many have believed that being anti-abortion had become a litmus test for their support of politicians and policies, which vie for evangelical votes.

06/ 27/08During the last few years, everyone in the nation has come to understand that things are not always the way they appear with individuals or organizations. While all of us struggle to live up to our ideals, some groups live permanently in the land of personal or professional compromise.
06/ 23/08Don’t look now, but as the business Planned Parenthood is in (unrestricted abortion) becomes less popular, the abortion leader aims to distract.

06/ 17/08Many of us expected this delay, delay, delay, until these misdemeanor charges will be allowed to go away. This was the entire plan when AG Morrison threw out all of the serious charges that meant something which were brought forth with probable cause.
06/ 17/08This is a great timeline to help follow what has happened in the Kansas legal case involving Planned Parenthood.
06/ 03/08WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, whose Roman Catholic archdiocese covers northeast Kansas, on May 9 called on Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to stop taking Communion until she disowns her support for the "serious moral evil" of abortion. That put the church in conflict with a rising star of the Democratic Party, often described as a "moderate" and perhaps the leading prospect to become Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate.
Naumann also took Sebelius to task for her veto April 21 of a bill, passed two to one by both houses of the Kansas Legislature, which would strengthen the state's ban on late-term abortions by authorizing private lawsuits against providers. That followed by a year her veto of a bill requiring explicit medical reasons for a late abortion, which was preceded by vetoing other abortion legislation in 2006, 2005 and 2003.
Those positions are necessary for Democratic politicians to pass their party's pro-choice litmus test, but Sebelius' connection with abortion is more intimate. She is allied with the aggressive Kansas branch of Planned Parenthood in a bitter struggle with anti-abortion activist District Attorney Phill Kline.

Machine politics is generally associated with
cities, the cynical cronyism that is the prerequisite to wholesale
corruption and urban decay. But these days it’s at its worst in, of all
places, Kansas, under the governorship of leading Democratic
vice-presidential contender, Kathleen Sebelius.
Just ask Phill Kline.
The former state attorney general and current district attorney of
Johnson County, in suburban Kansas City, Kline is that most unfortunate
of political creatures — the inspired reformer. The object of his
quixotic campaign is to reform the abortion laws of Kansas — not by
changing them, but by simply enforcing them.
In a place like Kansas, you might think, that’s T-ball politics — but that would only be in the Kansas of popular (and Thomas Frank’s)
imagination, where wily conservatives are winning the culture wars.
They’re definitely not, as Kline now knows well. He started his mission
after being elected attorney general in 2002.
I live in Kansas, which is reputed to be a more conservative and Christian state than many, and so I have always found it curious — and stomach-turning — that George Tiller, a late-term abortion profiteer, can have such a lucrative practice in Wichita. Even when the state’s legislature and governor’s office were held by professing Christian Republicans, and the same could be said of the Wichita mayor’s office, Tiller expanded his practice with ease. Not only did prominent officials not speak out against Tiller, they failed to enforce already lenient abortion laws, as an investigation by a former Kansas Attorney General, Phill Kline, has begun to make clear.
An excellent article in National Review reveals the trouble Kline got for his efforts.
