Wichita, KS — Operation Rescue and a group of pro-life leaders from around the nation will hold a press conference at 11:00 AM today, the 34th memorial of Roe v. Wade, at the Sedgwick County Courthouse to announce the next step in the fight to restore 30 criminal charges against abortionist George R. Tiller for committing illegal late-term abortion.
Following the press conference, which is the final activity in Operation Rescue’s A Cry for Justice event, the group will again seek to meet with District Attorney Nola Foulston.
Foulston’s office asked the group to put their request for a meeting in writing when they visited her office on Friday. That request was faxed over to her office later that day.
Operation Rescue, working with the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, DC and with Coral Ridge Ministries’ Center for Reclaiming America, plan next week to ask for a federal investigation into why Attorney General Paul Morrison and Foulston are not enforcing the laws of the State of Kansas. Both Foulston and Morrison have ties to Tiller.
Morrison campaigned on a pledge to drop all investigations into abortion clinic wrongdoing and benefited from an estimated $1 million dollars worth of political hit piece mailings against former AG Phill Kline that were traced directly to Tiller.
“There is certainly enough appearance of impropriety, and even political corruption to warrant a federal investigation,” said Operation Rescue spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger.
“All we had to do is take a look at the witness list submitted with the complaint against Tiller to know that the former Attorney General had a strong and compelling case,” she said.
“The abortionist who actually provided the second signature on Tiller’s post-viability abortions, Ann Kristen Neuhaus, was listed as a witness against Tiller. This would be like Bonnie turning state’s evidence against Clyde. There could hardly be a more credible witness against him,” she said. “It makes us wonder if anyone in the Foulston’s or Morrison’s office even bothered to read the complaint. If they had, they would be forced to conclude that this case has merit, just as two judges have already determined.”
In addition to asking the executive branch to do something about this, what about asking for a Congressional investigation? Of course, this may be difficult with pro-abortion Democrats in control.
I watched all the major news stations today, including the FABULOUS (note the sarcasm) CNN and not only did the local news not mention the march on washington and roe v wade, but neither did world news tonight etc….NO COVERAGE whatsoever given to the march in washington. of course I didn’t expect any coverage of the march in Kansas…but a BLURB on DC at LEAST!
Last year, CSPAN2 covered the March for Life. I briefly checked a couple of times and didn’t see anything related to the March. I mostly watched EWTN. They gave solid coverage.
By the way, is it possible that Bill O’Reilly has been told to stop talking about Tiller? His lack of coverage of anything remotely related to abortion today is QUITE surprising.
I came across your website for the first time this evening, along with another one published by someone called “Stuart B.”, which carried detailed information on Dr. Tiller’s address, family members and business associates. I’m horrified by partial birth abortion and have always supported efforts to ban it, but I have to tell you frankly that the demonizing tactics of Operation Rescue and the clearly threatening nature of people like “Stuart B.” have begun to frighten me in the same way a lynch mob would. As a moderate Republican, I plan to write to my representatives in Congress tonight(Virginia) to urge them to fight you, and will lend my support (despite my own convictions) to other organizations that do the same. Sincerely, John Moran, Leesburg, VA
John Moran,
Don’t judge all prolifers by a poster like “Stuart B”. Many prolifers truly care about the women being forced to make this horrible decision to KILL their OWN baby. Many are physically forced to abort – coerced by a parent, the father of the child, their friends or coworkers. Many are deceived by the tactics that Proaborts use, such as saying the child is “just a clump of cells” or “its not a baby yet”.
Don’t judge us by one person!
I went to the march on Sunday.This was my first time ever! I loved it! Washington D.C. was beautiful,and the pro-lifers were soooooo peaceful.Jonh-[the man who posted above] is over reacting I think that some people are just more passionate and emotional than others when it comes to the ugly abortion industry.
Here in Portland, Oregon, I did not expect to see or hear coverage of your “Cry For Justice” in Wichita. However, there is usually something – a blurb – on the major networks about the annual March For Life in Washington, D.C. I was in that march for life in 1983.
Then, on April 28, 1990, I attended a hugh Rally For Life in Washington, D.C. with at least 500,000 people and several terrific speakers. The press and media coverage was miserable! I for one have never gotten over it.
There were more people there than at Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous rally where he told about his dream.
Doesn’t life itself have that kind of moral importance?
Here in Portland, Oregon, I did not expect to see coverage of your Cry For Justice in Wichita. However, there is usually a blurb about the March For Life in Washington, D.C. I attended that march in 1983. I remain angry at the media’s treatment of the prolife movement and the unborn.
I’m not sure what you mean by “moderation” of comments. Should the comments be shortened? Are they being reviewed? I simply wanted to say that it’s a shame that your “Cry For Justice” and George Tiller aren’t getting prominent coverage nationwide.
I agree with you Mary.The march should have been the MOST important topic on the list of media TO DO lists. They are so focused on stupid things such as celebrities and what they are wearing.I remember that right after 9-11 hit ,one of the AM TV shows received some backlash because they covered P. DIDDY changing his name to DIDDY. Who cares? Fox 8 WAS there. I saw them as well as others.Where was Bill O’Rielly? I am so dissapointed to hear about his lack of coverage.
4life, it’s just my opinion, but I think Bill O’Reilly has been told “hands off” the abortion issue. I wrote to Fox News (copied to oreilly@foxnews.com) to let them know that I appreciated O’Reilly’s coverage of this issue in November and December. I then pointed out that I believed he was being told to leave this story alone and that as a consequence, I did not plan to watch anything on Fox News in the future. I would encourage other prolifers to write to Fox News about this as well. The address is comments@foxnews.com . Be sure to cc oreilly@foxnews.com if you write.
Thank you for the clarification Bill. I was not aware that O’Reilly was a part of Fox
