Abortion Clinic Records Fight Draws Kansas Court Scrutiny
David Gittrich of Kansans for Life argues that a district court judge rightly ordered a request for medical records from George Tiller and Planned Parenthood to aid a criminal investigation into illegal late term abortions involving young girls. He asserts patient privacy is trumped by public safety and condemns clinics for withholding files. The Kansas attorney general and prosecutors back the move, saying the judge ensured privacy while safeguarding victims.
