- Jon and Kate Plus 8 Minus God
So, on the surface, it appears that the Gosselins have attained everything but on a spiritual level, they have nothing. The family is splitting apart before ten million viewers. It’s the American way and there lies the tragedy. This couple and so many in our society are blind to the fact that without God in the center, things eventually spin out of control.

04/ 08/09
Chain of events:
1. Morrison interpreted Kansas law in a way which made it impossible to prosecute for criminal late term abortion. Essentially he said that if Tiller said it was medically required then it was. (Abortion money had elected him and he was not going to enforce the late term abortion law).
2. Morrison filed these charges and called them "highly technical". It is speculated that he probably anticipated pleading it out or putting together a weak case.
3. In December, 2007, Morrison resigns and Governor Sebelius appoints Stephen Six as the new AG.
4. . Six adopts Morrison's absurd interpretation of Kansas late-term abortion laws. Six also assumes the Morrison charges against Tiller.
5. . Six announces he will not conduct any further investigation of Tiller as he considered this “an invasion of privacy." Accordingly, the entire State prosecution of Tiller is based solely on evidence Kline obtained while in office. With hindsight we now see that they chose not to use all of the strong evidence that Kline provided to them.
6. Tiller goes to trial and the State put on one witness. That's it. The only morsel of hope that the jury could see the real picture was provided by Tiller's own slip up in his testimony in his own defense. Tiller's slip up was in that he accidently says, "When she worked for me". The State relies on this as the theme of their closing arguments. Everyone prayed that the jury was paying attention. In order to prevail, the state needed to show that Neuhaus was an employee of Tiller. They failed miserably in that they only put on Neuhaus as their sole witness. Of course, she denied the allegation.
7. Tiller's defense was that Larry Buening told him to use Dr. Neuhaus. (At that time Buening worked for the medical board in Kansas which was in charge of Physician conduct and compliance. This state agency is known as The Kansas Board of Healing Arts)
This brings us to the closing argument of Tiller's Attorney, Dan Monat. Here were his points:
1. Every abortion is a heroic effort by Tiller to provide a medically necessary procedure to save the mother from severe and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function. Tiller, himself, has sacrificed and suffered much to provide such excellent care. He has been a victim of anti-choice activism and has faced threats to his own life, survived bombings and shootings, and has been the victim of witch hunts his entire career.
2. In this "one witness prosecution" the state simply continued this was a persecution designed by "anti-choice politicians."
3. If the state was serious and Dr. Tiller was operating anything but a legitimate medical facility to provide admittedly medically necessary procedures, the state would have charged Dr. Tiller with more serious crimes. (Recall: It was Former AG Morrison—elected with millions of dollars in abortion money--- that dropped all serious charges of illegal late term abortions brought forth by Phill Kline when he was Attorney General. Now is it his successor who has stipulated that all abortions in question are "medically necessary". It seems we have now come full circle).
4. Dr. Tiller only requested the services of Dr. Neuhaus for their patients because he relied on the advice of Dr. Bruening, of the Kansas Board of Healing Arts, who told Dr. Tiller to use Dr. Neuhaus as the second doctor. Beuning denies this, but the State did not call him as a witness because under oath - he would have admitted that is exactly what he did.
5. The one witness the state called (Dr. Neuhaus herself---who was declared a hostile witness once she took the stand) denied the relationship the State claimed she had with Tiller.
If that is not throwing a prosecution - what is?
Here's what really happened and should have been presented regarding the activities at Tiller's clinic.
1. Tiller performed abortions on viable children for any reason whatsoever, including statements by the mother that she wanted to attend rock concerts, the prom or compete in the rodeo season.
2. Neuhaus signed a form letter stating she found the mother would "suffer severe impairment of a major bodily function." She did not give a diagnosis. (The state did not present any evidence at Tiller's trial regarding the diagnosis, any supporting documentation or whether Neuhaus even reached the same diagnosis as Tiller) The State also presented no evidence about whether Neuhaus ever saw any of the patients that she signed off on.
3. All patient charts were provided by Tiller to Neuhaus and all Neuhaus’s income was provided by Tiller (supposedly in cash) except for the limited income
she had received as a laser hair technician.
This case was improperly handled from the start. The State did not use the redacted medical abortion records or any other witnesses and they refused to challenge the basis for the abortion. In stipulating that all the abortions in question were medically necessary, they intentionally threw the case. The bottom line:
Abortionist George Tiller, Governor Kathleen Sebelius, and the Abortion industry secured the “NOT GUILTY” outcome of this prosecution on Election Night 2006 when they defeated Phill Kline’s bid for re-election to the Kansas Attorney General seat. This put an end to enforcement efforts and any hopes of a legitimate prosecution effort. Tiller's money was well invested and once again the abortionindustry’s money has taken care of their own. But they are not done yet. The final score they have to settle is with the guy who began all of Tiller’s trouble. Governor Sebelius’s majority appointed Kansas Supreme Court have already set the wheels in motion to go after Former Attorney General Phill Kline, now a law professor at Liberty Law School in Virginia, and take his law license to make an example of him for daring to expose Tiller and his crimes against women and the unborn.. Friday’s verdict was all too predictable. And it was delivered just in time to clear the way for the confirmation of Governor Sebelius. The timing is unbelievable but not surprising. After the effective job she has done protecting abortion under her watch in our nation’s late term capital, I guess you could say Attorney General Six and Tiller were simply returning the favor. That doesn’t make the results of the trial any less devastating. Ironically, as if my children instinctively knew what was happening with all the phone calls that were coming in at the time of the verdict, they quietly went into our family room and among themselves chose a movie. Perhaps this week some of our Republican Senators can find the backbone to call upon Governor Sebelius during her confirmation hearing to provide protection to the least among us by reminding her of the same words that put a lump in my throat when they rang out from my family room the same hour that our nation’s notorious late term abortionist was acquitted in a predetermined verdict which turned him loose from the courtroom to continue his illegal slaughter of the innocence: “A person’s a person no matter how small”**
