An abortion doctor will ask the Kansas Supreme Court to investigate Attorney General Phill Kline and Bill O'Reilly over the Fox television host's comments that he obtained information from Kansas abortion records, the doctor's attorneys said Saturday.

The attorneys said Dr. George Tiller wants the court to appoint a special prosecutor to handle the investigation and take possession of the records of 90 patients from two clinics, including Tiller's. They said he will make his requests Monday.

During a national broadcast Friday night of "The O'Reilly Factor," the host said a "source inside" told the show that Tiller performs late-term abortions when a patient is depressed, which O'Reilly deemed "executing babies." He also said his show has evidence that Tiller's clinic and another unnamed clinic have broken Kansas law by failing to report potential rapes with child victims aged 10 to 15.<<SNIP>>

Tiller's attorneys, Pedro Irigonegaray, of Topeka, and Lee Thompson and Dan Monnat, of Wichita, issued a joint statement decrying the "national media event." "The fears about threats to the sanctity and privacy of medical records were well-grounded," they said.>>


Didn't think this merited LBN, but could not pass it by without posting it somewhere. This certainly raises many troubling questions about access to medical records as well as journalistic integity, neither of which is of any concern to Bill. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It might be a little hard for him to talk his way out of this one.

1. In the future...

Every woman who ever had an abortion will be listed on a public database. It would be designed to protect potential fathers who want kids from mismatches with women who would abort them.
