Machine politics is generally associated with cities, the cynical cronyism that is the prerequisite to wholesale corruption and urban decay. But these days it’s at its worst in, of all places, Kansas, under the governorship of leading Democratic vice-presidential contender, Kathleen Sebelius. Just ask Phill Kline.

Topeka, KS (LifeNews.com) -- Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is getting flack from a pro-life group for supposedly holding a secret party at the governor's mansion with an infamous late-term abortion practitioner. Sebelius reportedly invited George Tiller and his abortion center staff for a party at Cedar Crest, the governor's mansion. Rumors of the party have circulated for months and first appeared in print when nationally syndicated columnist Bob Novak mentioned them in an article saying Sebelius' pro-abortion views would fit with those of Barack Obama.On Wednesday, Operation Rescue told LifeNews.com the rumors were true and produced pictures of the event...

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...

The Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments today over subpoenaed medical records of notorious abortionist George Tiller, who is accused of performing late-term abortions — which are illegal in Kansas — at his Wichita clinic. In January, the Sedgwick County grand jury subpoenaed about 2,000 late-term abortion records from Tiller’s clinic; the judge reduced that to 250. Tiller is refusing to turn over the records, claiming it would violate his patients’ privacy. However, the grand jury requested that all patient-identifying information be redacted from the subpoenaed records before the jury receives them. Tiller's attorneys argued the grand jury investigation constitutes harassment,...

The National Education Association is under fire again for promoting abortion -- this time because it allowed late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller to have a speaking role at its building. The teacher's group allowed the pro-abortion Feminist Majority Foundation to host its young women's leadership conference.

At the event, members of Students for Life of America took video footage showing the abortion advocates giving Tiller a standing ovation during a slide show with pictures of babies who became victims of abortion.

The Kansas Supreme Court has stalled a Wichita grand jury's subpoena of abortion records from the Kansas Attorney General's Office. By an order this afternoon, the high court said the attorney general's concerns over patient privacy were similar to the issues raised by lawyers for Wichita abortion provider George Tiller. The grand jury, convened by a citizen petition driven by anti-abortion groups, has tried twice to get a look at abortion records. First, the grand jury tried to order Tiller to turn over 2,000 patient records of women who tried to seek an abortion at the Wichita clinic at least...

A judge ruled against attorneys for local abortion provider Dr. George Tiller Thursday. They wanted to halt a grand jury's request for sensitive clinic documents. Tiller is under investigation for possibly performing illegal late term abortions. The grand jury's findings would determine whether formal charges are filed. A grand jury has looked into alleged wrong-doings by the doctor in the past, and cleared him of any crimes. Grand jury proceedings are typically kept secret, but in an open courtroom Thursday, attorneys on both sides argued just how much authority a grand jury should have when it subpoenas evidence. In this...

In the twilight of their extramarital affair, Linda Carter urged Paul Morrison to let her go, repair his shattered marriage and resolve his hatred of Phill Kline.

In announcing his resignation Friday, Attorney General Paul Morrison says he has been working "to get right" with God, his family and his friends. Morrison chose not to make peace with Kline. He made intermittent attempts to console his family, but he also...

Wichita — Sedgwick County District Judge Clark V. Owens said he will rule within several weeks on whether to dismiss charges Attorney General Paul Morrison filed against Dr. George Tiller for allegedly violating Kansas’ restrictions on late-term abortions. After hearing arguments Friday, Owens said he would likely decide at the same time whether a panel of 12 jurors would hear the misdemeanor case, as Tiller requested. State law limits juries in misdemeanor trials to six members. Morrison filed 19 misdemeanor charges against Tiller in June for allegedly failing to have a second, independent physician sign off before he performed abortions...

As much as liberals decry major corporations that act as if they're above the law, there's always quiet when the subject is Planned Parenthood, America's No. 1 corporate provider of abortions. During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, reported a tidy profit of $55.8 million -- and received a record high in taxpayer funding of $305.3 million. This is one corporation the media hold in the highest regard. They're not "merchants of death." That would be the tobacco companies, or gun manufacturers, or hamburger joints. These are the heroic "providers" of...

Dr. George Tiller is trying to avoid being prosecuted on misdemeanor charges by challenging the constitutionality of a Kansas law requiring him to get a second, independent doctor to sign off on late-term abortions of viable fetuses. In the past, courts have seen such requirements as too burdensome for women who want to end their pregnancies. In one U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1973 - a companion to the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling - the court said one doctor's clinical judgment "should be sufficient." But Tiller's legal challenge appears to be an iffy proposition at best, despite the legal...
