A grand jury investigating abortion provider George Tiller adjourned Wednesday afternoon without issuing a criminal indictment. Retired Sedgwick County District Judge Paul Buchanan, assigned to preside over the grand jury, said the panel returned a finding of “no true bill,” meaning criminal charges would not be filed.

A Kansans for Life spokesperson says the governor of the Sunflower State is so indebted to the abortion industry that she vetoed a very good abortion bill.  Mary Kay Culp of Kansans for Life says Governor Kathleen Sebelius has fought every effort to reduce abortions in the state, and now has vetoed a bill that would have simply given women more information to let them make a decision about the life or death of their child. Culp says Sebelius has vetoed a bill that sought to prevent coerced abortions, especially with underage girls who had suffered sexual abuse. The Comprehensive Abortion...

MARTIN HASKELL, George Tiller, and Warren Hern have several things in common. All three are abortionists who specialize in late abortions. Haskell's name is closely linked with the partial-birth abortion method. Tiller and Hern may be the only two abortionists in the United States who openly advertise their willingness to perform third-trimester abortions. Finally, all three men have opened their checkbooks to support Senator John Kerry's bid to be president of the United States. Their contributions to Kerry's campaign total $7,000. That is not a vast sum compared with the millions being spent by liberal groups to attack President Bush....
