WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Jurors have acquitted one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers of violating Kansas law requiring an independent second opinion for the procedure.

But moments after the verdict was announced Friday, the state's medical board made public a complaint against Dr. George Tiller on similar allegations.

Tiller was found not guilty of 19 misdemeanor charges stemming from abortions he performed at his Wichita clinic in 2003. Prosecutors had alleged that a doctor he used for second opinions was essentially an employee of his and not independent as state law requires.

If convicted, Tiller had faced a year in jail for each charge.

The medical board considering the complaint against Tiller could revoke, suspend or limit his medical license, or fine him............."

And there will be a host of replies decrying Kansans for this verdict. Do not blame them. Blame the way the law was written. The case was pretty well done when the court decided that the second opinion this doctor did get was “good enough”.

Pretty darn pitiful, ain’t it? What’s the matter with my New Hampshire? House passed “gay marriage” yesterday. God help us.

I have nothing but contempt for the state of Kansas. The hayseeds wouldn’t know evil if it came up to them wearing a name tag and kicked them in the teeth.

I can’t believe this bastard is going to walk. I’m sick to my stomach.

His defense team must have done a good job of selecting jurors.

It was an open and shut case, from what I could tell.

“Hayseeds?”

Me think that a jury of true Kansas “hayseeds” would have seen it differently.

Liberals have the free time for jury duty, it appears.

Liberals control the rest of the population. It’s part of the plan.

"It was an open and shut case, from what I could tell.

Spend enough time around the criminal justice system and you'll soon learn that there's no such thing as "an open and shut" case.

FWIW, from what I hear, the attorney prosecuting the case didn’t want a conviction.

So now it is Tiller and OJ - another miscarrage of justice.

I saw that. The House did, but it's unlikely to pass the Senate, and Lynch hasn't stated where he stands on it either, surprise, surprise.

I'm guessing if he wants Judd Gregg's seat, he'll veto it, otherwise he's gonna have a helluva fight on his hands just to get elected dog catcher next year.
