A former Kansas abortionist wants her medical license back and has taken her plea to the state Supreme Court, though one pro-lifer wonders why she would even try.
In response to the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts' unanimous vote to revoke her license, Ann Kristin Neuhaus has filed an appeal to the high court. But Operation Rescue's Troy Newman is confident that her appeal will not be answered.
"We're sure, we're confident that because of the facts that have already been entered into this case -- that she's nothing more than a quack and a snake oil salesman -- that she's not going to get her license back, and she will never again kill children, at least not on this side of the law," Newman asserts.
He wonders why Neuhaus would even file an appeal when there is such a preponderance of evidence against her.
"There might be some strategy here on her part to try and reopen an abortion clinic in Wichita," the pro-lifer suggests, "but my fundamental belief is that this is a last gasp of her attempting to hang on to a medical license and to also stall paying the $93,000 that she owes the state of Kansas for court costs."
Neuhaus was found guilty of signing off on abortions for minors and others without the mental health exams needed to comply with laws on late-term abortions. In 1999, she was accused of violating federal drug regulations, and two years later of repeatedly deviating from the standard of care for patients.
