Morrison backs late term abortion law in Tiller case
In Kansas a dispute over a 1998 late term abortion law pits Dr. George Tiller against Attorney General Paul Morrison who argues the law is constitutional. Morrison, joining Americans United for Life and 20 lawmakers, says two doctors must approve certain abortions and that independent second sign off is required. Tiller seeks dismissal, claiming unconstitutional burden on a woman’s rights. A 9:30 a.m. hearing is set in Sedgwick County.
