Phill Kline, Part 1 of Many

This post covers what is, in my opinion, one of the most important developments in the pro-life scene this year. I am incredibly excited about this whole case. I must emphasise that while I do my best to have all my facts straight, this is a very complicated case, and my legal mind is still in its infancy (or perhaps still at an embryonic stage!). Add to this my very incomplete understanding of the American legislative system, and I'm sure I will get a few things wrong. I hope, however, that I will be correct on the essentials.

In a nutshell: Phill Kline, a former state prosecutor for Kansas, is the first person to bring charges against Planned Parenthood in its entirety. He has, in fact, charged Planned Parenthood with 107 crimes, including 23 felonies. Many of these charges relate to illegal late-term abortions and the concealment of statutory rape. This monumentous case is still pending, because the opposition has brought its own charges against Kline, namely for ethics violations to do with collection of personal details of women who received abortions.

I think it is fair to say that these are trumped-up charges with little or no plausible grounds. In fact, the ethics complaints in question were examined a few years ago by two judges who advised that they did not find any probable cause to believe that Kline broke the law. The documents containing these findings were buried by the opposition and only resurfaced this year. These findings has not stopped the opposition from first suing one of the judges and then continuing to sue Kline.

The hearings for the first case of ethics violations ended a week or two ago. As I said, I have found this an immensely complicated topic to research, but I think it is fair to say that these court proceedings were a spectacular miscarriage of justice. The hearings took eight days in total. The opposition took the floor first. After they had elaborated for seven days, the court then advised Kline that they wished to finish up with proceedings, and that he would have one day to present his defense. Kline and his lawyers in the end had somewhere around half a day to present his defense before the judges wrapped up proceedings. If that's not a pretty good indicator of judicial bias, I don't know what is. You can see Kline talking about it here:



This angers me more than I can say. More on this soon. Anyway, don't take my word for any of this- you can find out for yourself. Search jillstanek.com, lifesitenews.com, and wnd.com for information.

March for Life 2011

Here's a cool time-lapse of approx. 400,000 people marching in Washington D.C. this January. The March for Life has been happening every year since Roe v. Wade, on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision. Nearly half a million people.... pretty awesome.
