Z, is that for real? What is Kline doing that’s possibly any more important than this!!!? He shouldn’t have his assistant showing up when we worked this hard to get this close!

Here are the bench notes from the hearing on the 28th. It’s hard to complain too much about this when Phill Kline doesn’t show up for work to argue his case:

STATE APPEARS BY C PRYOR & E RUCKER. RESPONDENT APPEARS BY R EYE & P IRIGONEGARAY BY PHONE. RICK MERKER APPEARS AS SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR THE GRAND JURY. GRAND JURY’S REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD HEARD. PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTS REQUESTED BY THE GRAND JURY.(RPTR: CULLEN)(JUDGE: MORIARTY)

Alayna and Chris, great posts. Alayna, I work in a nursing home, and you are correct. Where is the State? We have always been subjected to cut throat annual inspections as well as the “whistleblowers” that you mentioned before. Why sholdn’t this apply to an abortion clinic?

Alayna-

Thanks for the information. I do find it interesting that abortionists seem to be above the law right now because many who are in positions of power seem to be protecting tiller and his friends.

When there are state and federal inspections of nursing homes, all records are available for inspection. Patient confidentiality is protected by giving numbers or letters to identify patients who are under scrutiny or suspicion of being abused, or neglected. We certainly are not allowed to withhold patient charts or make only portions of them available. I am sure hospitals follow the same procedures. How does Planned Parenthood get away with this? Government corruption. Medical professionals must be held accountable for their actions so as to protect their patients. My assumption is women must not care as long as they are getting their birth control and their abortions!
