The pro-life group Operation Rescue says it's almost impossible to get any agency in Kansas to pursue criminal charges against infamous abortionist George Tiller because he has a very important ally -- Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
Abortionist George Tiller is being investigated by the Kansas attorney general's office, and calls have increased for charges to be filed against him. According to Operation Rescue, Tiller -- along with his entire abortion clinic staff -- allegedly was honored in April 2007 with a lavish secret party, thrown by one of his biggest supporters -- pro-abortion Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Under the Kansas Open Records Act, Operation Rescue (OR) requested information on the party and who paid for it. So far, however, the pro-life group has received only scant information on other unrelated events. OR senior policy advisor Cheryl Sullenger says taxpayers have a right to know if they paid for this gala honoring Tiller. And she says it is painfully obvious now why it is so hard to nail the abortionist with criminal charges. "Every agency that could be responsible for charging Tiller or disciplining him -- like the Kansas Board of Healing Arts -- is just loaded with appointees of Governor Sebelius, including the Kansas Supreme Court," she laments. "So what we're having here is a real problem trying to get the laws enforced." According to Sullenger, the trail always leads to Sebelius. "[E]very time we try to get the laws enforced, when we track back whatever's obstructing it, we end up at the governor's mansion." Sullenger says Sebelius would not be governor today if not for Tiller's financial support -- and Kansas taxpayers should be outraged, she adds, that the governor obstructs prosecution of the abortionist but also honors him with an expensive, taxpayer-funded party. Governor Sebelius claims the gathering with Tiller and his staff was an auction prize and that she had no control who would be the winner. But Operation Rescue says it has concluded that her claims are not supported by documentation. Results from our related poll question
