Public urged to ask House members pass the Tiller Resolution
Topeka, KS — Support for a legislative resolution, which would order Attorney General Paul Morrison to charge and prosecute late-term abortionist George R. Tiller for committing illegal late-term abortions, is growing nationwide.
Operation Rescue came out publicly in support of the resolution on Wednesday. An Ohio-based website, ChargeTiller.com has collected over 1,200 signatures from all 50 states in the first 3 days of its existence in support of legislative action. Hundreds of e-mails have been sent to key House leaders asking them to act to bring Tiller to justice.
Efforts to pass the resolution to charge Tiller will be focused in the Kansas House, the branch of the legislature with the strongest pro-life sentiment. Kansas law gives the legislature authority to order the prosecution.
Tiller was charged with thirty criminal counts related to the commission of illegal late-term abortions by former Attorney General Phill Kline. The charges were dismissed on jurisdictional grounds at the request of District Attorney Nola Foulston, an abortion supporter. The case’s merits have never been questioned.
“Now is the time for us to raise our voices to the legislature and urge them to pass the Tiller Resolution,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “They have the authority to get this done, and with the Speaker’s support, this could easily be accomplished in a day or so.”
“We must remember that late-term babies — babies who could survive if birthed instead of aborted — are being killed at Tiller’s Wichita abortion mill, very likely in violation of the Kansas law,” said Newman. “Tiller needs to answer to these serious charges in court. Many legislators were elected to the House by pro-life constituents for just such a moment. Now it’s time for them to step up to the plate and show us their quality.”

Is this just an exercise in venting our frustration or is there an actual likelihood that Teflon Tiller could be held accountable in this lifetime?
OT – Grammar check. The possessive “its” has no apostrophe in it. (The English teacher in me bubbles to the surface….)
I can’t seem to e-mail,but I signed the petition.
I read this as: “Now (NOW IT IS) it’s time for them to step up to the plate and show us their quality.” IT IS shows no possession- Christina (the rebellious English student bubbles too—-)
This is a great opportunity for all of pro-life America to voice their opinion about George Tiller! Please take it seriously! Get your opinion out everywhere! Tiller and
Zaremski have been brought to the attention of the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts. e-mail them at lbuening@ink.org or write a letter at Kansas State Board of Healing Arts 235 South Topeka Boulevard Topeka, Kansas 66603-3068. Give everyone your opinion on Tiller!
Someone will eventually listen! The KSBHA is reportedly investigating Tiller and Zaremski. If enough people complain, they have to listen! Write a letter to Pastor Tom Halstrom at Reformation Lutheran Church 7601 E. 13th St. North Wichita, Kansas 67206-1278 and tell him Tiller needs to be excommunicated or reprimanded by the church for killing babies! Even if they disagree, they will get the point. This matter needs our immediate attention!
Kansas ignores Gods commandment when they allow murder of babies and mother to happen blattenly infront of all. It is time to stand tall for God. How could you allow this to happen to in child of God. Gather the facts and do what is right. Find alternatives to death.
Thank you Alyana for spreading the news Kansas State Board of Healing Arts. That is another door we can all pursue. I’m in total agreement with Operatino Rescue that this opportunity with the KS Legislature is ripe for those who seek justice in our land! We must speak up. We must stand up. We must put up or shut! Let those who want a paycheck get our of KS politics right now. However, let those who want to truly “represent” the people take a crucial stand for justice in their midst. We shall pray and fast that this happens sooner than later. I sent my letter to the Speaker and encouraged others to do so as well. How about you all???
