Accuses KS Governor of protecting Tiller

New York City, NY — Fox News host Bill O’Reilly rebounded from a six-month silence to issue a scathing segment on the notorious late-term abortionist George R. Tiller that aired the evening of May 30. During the segment, O’Reilly blasted Tiller for “executing fetuses” for “vague medical reasons.”

He was equally critical of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who vetoed a bill that would have required Tiller to provide specific medical reasons for abortions after 21 weeks of pregnancy.

“Incredibly, Gov. Sebelius is protecting Tiller,” O’Reilly said during his broadcast. “And Gov. Sebelius is allowing him to continue the slaughter. How the governor sleeps at night is beyond me.”

O’Reilly produced a document showing that Tiller has a lengthy history of campaign contributions to Sebelius going back to 1994.

O’Reilly’s guest was Rep. Ben Hodge, who resigned a committee post in protest of the lack of action by Speaker Melvin Neufeld to bring Tiller to justice.

When asked by O’Reilly if this was a disgrace upon everyone who lives in Kansas, Rep. Hodge responded, “Yes, I think it is. I think at times in American history there will be times when branches of government fail the people and I think this is one of those times.”

“O’Reilly’s remarks underscore what our own research and work has revealed about the web of corruption that surrounds and protects Tiller,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, who worked behind the scenes with Kansas legislators in an attempt to bring Tiller to justice.

“Because women come from every state to abort late-term babies at Tiller’s Wichita abortion mill, this is a national problem. We pray that the national exposure O’Reilly brings to this scandal will force the people of Kansas to begin taking meaningful action to clean up governmental corruption and bring Tiller to a court where he can be held accountable under the law as soon as possible,” said Newman.

A WorldNetDaily.com article posted yesterday reminded us of the seventh anniversary of the sentencing of abortionist Bruce Steir for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Sharon Hamptlon, who bled out after a botched abortion at a Moreno Valley, California, abortion mill in 1996. (Read shocking details of Hamptlon’s death.) Steir received a year in the county jail and 6 months probation. He was forced to surrender his medical license in 1997.

Operation Rescue President Troy Newman visited the unremorseful Steir during his incarceration at the San Bernardino County Jail in California in an attempt to share the Gospel and urge repentance, but Steir was belligerent and closed to the message of forgiveness and regeneration through Christ.

His pro-abort supporters attempted to portray Steir as a martyr and complained that charges against him were a “frame-up.” Later, they expressed “devastation” at his conviction and incarceration, but very little in the way of remorse for the death of a young mother who died in front of her 3-year old son.

“Their attitude dramatically illustrated the abortion cartel’s callous disregard for the welfare of women,” said Cheryl Sullenger, spokesperson of Operation Rescue. “These people were willing to sacrifice the lives of women to insure that abortionists kept aborting and abortion mills remained open. Unfortunately, that general attitude persists today.”

But pro-life supporters, especially the activists who protested outside the abortion mills where Steir worked, were relieved that for once a small measure of justice had been served, and that a dangerous man was off the streets.

Today, Steir is 75 and can never again obtain a medical license. The abortion clinic where he fatally injured Hamptlon is closed. Meanwhile, Operation Rescue continues to work to expose abortionists, and see to it that abortion clinics, the sites of so much human suffering, are closed for good.

“For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
—Psalm 37:9-11
