Kansas high court allows abortion case to move forward
The Kansas Supreme Court allowed the criminal case against a suburban Kansas City abortion clinic to proceed with conditions that may limit evidence. The 107 counts include 23 felonies tied to falsified records from the 2007 investigations led by then District Attorney Phill Kline. The justices ruled the district attorney cannot compel the KDHE to hand over patient abortion reports, since the law restricts copies to the attorney general or the state medical regulatory board.
