Kline states the subpoenas will be reissued in his investigation of child sex abuse and illegal late-term abortion
Wichita, KS — The Kansas Supreme Court issued a ruling today indicating that Attorney General Phill Kline can resubmit his request for medical records from two abortion clinics under investigation for non-reporting of child sex abuse and illegal abortions.
The two abortion mills under investigation are Women’s Health Care Services (WHCS) in Wichita, KS owned and operated by late-term abortionist George R. Tiller, and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.
The Court also ruled that if documents are to be turned over, “the clinics’ attorneys must be permitted to redact patient-identifying information from the files before they are delivered to the judge under seal.”
“While we are happy that the Kansas Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement may use the subpoena process to obtain medical records when investigating crimes, we are concerned that the clinics will misuse permission to redact information in order to cover for any crimes they may have committed,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “If these abortion mills are not covering for child predators, then they should be glad to release the records.”
Kline has stated that he was never interested in the identities of the abortion mill patients and that those women were not the subject of his investigations.
Kline stated at a Wichita press conference that he will re-issue the subpoenas and he expects that they will be honored.
Kline was in Wichita to testify in a separate but related case involving his opinion that child rape triggers the Kansas mandatory reporting law. Three abortionists and several social workers sued Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston to block enforcement of mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse as defined by Kansas Statute.
Kline stated that when a girl under 16 presents herself to an abortion clinic for an abortion or other reasons, that pregnancy is evidence a sexual injury has occurred as defined by Kansas Law, and that those incidents must be reported. He also stated that if this case prevails, it would invalidate all reporting requirements and seriously hamper law enforcement’s ability to investigate crimes against children.
“We are proud of Attorney General Phill Kline and his efforts to protect our children from sexual predators,” said Newman. “The plaintiffs’ efforts to use misinformation about Kline’s opinion are unconscionable scare tactics designed to make people afraid that the State will be snooping in their private lives. Kline’s testimony today revealed that these claims are purely fictitious.”

Good news.
As the father of five daughters and 10 grandchildren [so far], I thank AG Kline for his persistance and dedication to those most vulnerable in society.
Kansas children once again have the additional covering of the state to protect them from abuse.
I hope his carreer grows to extend defense BEYOND the state of Kansas.
I also thank AG Kline for doing his job to protect the children of Kansas from the sick perverts in the world. Hopefully, this will catch of nation wide!
SYOP KILLING BABIES/ IN JESUS NAME
Excellent article and Excellent job done. AG Kline certainly has the hand of God on him to be as persistent as he has been. It is true if the abortionists and social workers had nothing to hide they wouldn’t be as scared as they are. They are scared that the money will dry up and America will finally wake up to the atrocity of what they have allowed – a choice to murder and maim. It reminds me of the saying: Your sin will find you out… God will prevail ’till the end. God Bless!
The new ‘tweek’ of so called privacy laws, I think, is meant to hide the surge in abortions on under age children who are impregnated, raped (esp. in the rap/thug culture) and euthanasia of our older folks who no longer can take care of themselves. This killing of our elderly citizens is happening all across our country ….even in reputable hospitals etc. HIPPA hides things from the public and even immediate family members. Hide the grisly facts, that is all HIPPA is good for. Morphine kills quick. You do not even get a chance to pray, say good bye. It happened to my WWII uncle…a veteran! What horror!
