On April 7-8, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri (PPKM) will be in the Johnson County district court in Olathe, Kansas, to answer the first of a total of 107 charges, including 23 felony counts of falsifying records along with various other counts of performing illegal late-term abortions.
Newman, president of Operation Rescue, thinks the long-fought battle against Planned Parenthood could finally be paying off. "Planned Parenthood's been on the ropes for a number of years. They've been caught lying, falsifying medical records, committing illegal late-term abortions, and even misreporting diagnoses to the state," Newman contends.
The activist is thankful that some attorneys are finally going to bat against the large, liberal, federally subsidized organization. "[F]inally we have some prosecutors who are willing to take on this Goliath in the abortion industry. And I think it's finally time for Planned Parenthood to see a jury, and then be convicted, and face the penalties," Newman points out.
According to Newman, if PPKM loses in court, it could be "the end of Planned Parenthood across the nation as we now know it."
At the hearings, the judge will determine if there is probable cause for the 23 felony counts. Newman believes there is ample evidence to support the charges.
