Implications of original ruling make Kansas a haven for child predators
Denver, CO — A Federal Appeals Court has dismissed a case brought by abortionists and other abortion supporters against Kansas for attempting to enforce their mandatory child sex abuse reporting law. Legislators had changed one word in the statute, rendering the case moot.
Kansas law requires that health care professionals, teachers, and other professionals who work with children must report all suspicion of sexual abuse. Aid for Women, an Kansas City abortion mill run by abortionist Sherman Zaremski filed suit against former Attorney General Phill Kline after he issued an opinion indicating that abortion clinics were required to follow the law.
After hearing testimony that included that of a homosexual psychologist who claimed that sex with 10-year old girls was healthy, Judge Thomas Marten ruled at trial that abortion clinics and other health professionals need not report all suspected cases to the authorities and left reporting of such abuse discretionary. Kline appealed, but his successor, abortion supporter Paul Morrison, joined in the motion to dismiss the case at the appellate level due to the one-word change in the law.
“The implications of the original ruling are devestating. Even though the abortionist’s case was dismissed, this impression that reporting is discretionary remains,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “This means that abortion mills will continue to cover up incidents of suspected underage child sex in order to protect child predators, as they have for years in Kansas.”
A case in point was that of Robert Estrada, who was convicted of raping his two young step-daughters and impregnating them a total of four times. The first pregnancy resulted in an abortion on one of the girls at age 12 at a Wichita abortion clinic where Zaremski worked. Because Zaremski and his staff refused to report the sexual abuse, it was allowed to continue on for years.
“The case was misrepresented in the media as a ‘kiss and tell’ case that would endanger the privacy of teens, and was never completely understood by the general public,” said Newman. “Abortionist are hiding child sexual predators on a daily basis and young girls who should be protected are exploited and abused. They have effectively made Kansas a safe haven for child rapists and declared ‘open season’ on little girls.”
Operation Rescue filed a complaint in February with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts against Zaremski for not reporting the child rape in the Estrada case. An investigation is pending.
The two step-daughters who were sexually-assaulted and impregnated should file a lawsuit against both the abortion clinic and Zaremski for malpractice in neglecting to protect them from their sexual predator step-father–Child protective services have been notified and have investigated far less serious allegations of child abuse than suggested by this case!
Judges that rule that abortion mills and operators can “decide” at their own discretion when to report suspected sexual abuse in underage minors is like asking the foxes to guard the hen house from predators! It’s irresponsible!
Abortionists and judges who support abortion rights over the protection of minors, consciously or unconsciously share a eugenic philosophy that views the unborn as a commodity that can be disposed at anytime for any reason without any regard to the circumstances that lead to the minor’s pregnancy.
Just as important, ABORTIONISTs are in business to make lots of $$$$ and are NOT the “good samatarians” looking out for the well-fare of young girls as many “feminists” would have us believe. Why many pro-abortion “feminists” would not want to expose and prosecute these sexual predators is beyond my comprehension of their logic.
Common sense and erring on the side of protecting minors from suspected sexual exploitation seems to carry little weight with some judges. I just don’t understand what is to be gained by not protecting children. What part of the law requiring MANDATORY reporting of suspected sexual abuse of minors by clinics and abortionists is NOT clear for some of these JUDGES? Protecting the sexual freedom of MINORS is NOT a constitutional right! It seems that whenever some judges want to skirt the law as intended by legislators, they often invoke the “privacy” clause.
I don’t believe in “criminalizing” sexual activity among minors, but all underage pregnancies resulting in abortion must be investigated for possible adult sexual involvement.
I’d love to ask some of these judges their opinion on what the Founding Fathers of this Country would have thought about the legalization of abortion, as well as, the “discretionary” protection given de facto to sexual predators of minors in the name of protecting a minor’s privacy from sexual abuse reporting requirements?
I think the underlying answer to your question about the judges is that they are COWARDS. They are too afraid to stand up for what is morally right and risk incurring the wrath of feminists and pro-aborts.
The easy disposal of the child, because it is LEGAL, is the quick fix. The child has no voice to speak for itself, and so killing it erases the problem….so they think.
Our Constitution was never intended to be ammended as many times as it has been. Pretty soon it will be a useless document.
The liberals want everyone to be able to say and do whatever they want , at any time, regardless of WHO get’s hurt in the process. We have lost sight of what is best for the “common good”.
As a country, our “freedoms” guaranteed by the Constitution, are going to be our downfall until we wake up and finally say “Enough is Enough”.
MORE LAWSUITS AGAINST THESE ABORTIONISTS AND ALL OF THOSE CONCERNED WHO HAVE NOT PROTECTED THESE YOUNG GIRLS WILL CHANGE HOW THESE SITUATIONS ARE HANDLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN ARE BEING ABUSED AND IGNORED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN ALLOWING ANY SITUATION WHERE RAPE/MOLESTATION OCCURS. WOMEN ARE NOT BEING PROTECTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT DEMANDED PROTECTION. WHEN MORE PEOPLE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, AND THAT MEANS JUDGES, PHYSICIANS, CLINICS, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, NURSES, TEACHERS, AND SOCIAL WORKERS, THEN CHANGES WILL BE MADE. IF I AM AT RISK FOR BEING SUED BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF A SITUATION I AM GOING TO BE MORE CAREFUL ABOUT THE ACTIONS I TAKE AND THE REPORTING OF THE INCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR FAULT OF THE SYSTEM REGARDING THE SPECIFIC RIGHTS OF WOMEN. WHY IS THE RAPE/MOLESTATION OF LITTLE GIRLS BEING IGNORED AND THE PROSECUTION OF SUCH BEING PASSED OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE? THIS IS A CONCERN FOR EACH OF US. WE ALL SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AWARENESS, REPORTING AND FOLLOWUP OF ABUSE! THE COURT SYSTEM IS NOT DOING ITS JOB! TO TAKE THIS SITUATION LIGHTLY IS DOWNGRADING WOMEN AND THEIR RIGHTS. THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT SEES ABORTION AS A PRIVILEDGE THEY HAVE EARNED AND DESERVE BUT THEY ARE BLIND TO THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE MISTREATMENT OF WOMEN AND GIRLS AS SEX OBJECTS RESULTING IN UNWANTED PREGNANCIES AND ABORTIONS WHICH MANY ENDURE UNDER THE WORST OF CIRCUMSTANCES CAUSING A LIFETIME OF PAINFUL MEMORIES. OUR SOCIETY HAS TAKEN A CALLOUS ATTITUDE TOWARDS WOMEN IN GENERAL AND THEY FIGURE THIS ABORTION THING IS WHAT THEY WANTED SO NOW THEY GOT IT. NOT MUCH SYMPATHY IS AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE YOUNG GIRLS BEING USED WITHOUT ANY REGARD TO THEIR PLIGHT. ACTUALLY THEY ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT FOR ABORTION AND OUR LEGAL SYSTEM IS NOT THERE TO PROTECT WOMEN BECAUSE ABORTION IS ACCEPTABLE. IN ESSENCE, WOMEN HAVE TAKEN A STEP BACKWARDS WHERE THEIR RIGHTS ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR SOCIETY IS NO LONGER LOOKING AT THEM AS NEEDING PROTECTION. IT’S MORE LIKE, YOU ASKED FOR THIS, NOW DEAL WITH IT. NOW WE HAVE TO IMPRESS UPON WOMEN THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO MEDICAL TREATMENT WHICH IS NOT ENDANGERING THEIR LIVES AND THEY NEED TO SPEAK OUT WHEN MISTREATMENT HAPPENS INVOLVING THEIR BODIES AND THEIR SEXUALITY. FEAR AND EMOTIONAL BONDAGE ARE OVERPOWERING. TRUE FREEDOM FOR WOMEN COMES WHEN THEY CAN RESPECT THEIR OWN BODIES AND THEIR CAPACITY FOR GIVING LIFE AND POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO SAY NO TO ANYONE WHO REQUESTS SUBMISSION TO ANY ACTION WHICH MAY PRODUCE HARM TO THEM PHYSICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY. IT IS TIME FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED BY ABORTION TO SPEAK OUT! LAWSUITS AGAINST ABORTION PROVIDERS AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WILL PUT A DAMPER ON THIS BIG MONEY MAKER. VICTIMS OF MOLESTATION/RAPE AND UNETHICAL, INADEQUATE CARE BY SO CALLED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS MUST COME FORWARD WITH THEIR COMPLAINTS LEGALLY TO HELP PUT A STOP TO THE LACK OF MONITORING OF THE ABORTION BUSINESS AND HOLD THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS!
The fundamental and universal right to life from conception to natural death is the most liberal proposition in the history of human thought.
No one can accurately call himself liberal and not support the right to life.
A friend said to me years ago that as soon as women got their rights, they set about taking away those of others. Yes, power corrupts.
This guy is sooo ugly. Sorry.
Deena…I fully agree. An ugly man doing ugly work.
