Abortionist Upset Over Grand Jury

J.J. Jackson* | November 2, 2007 

I’d throw a pity party, but I have no pity for this man:

TOPEKA, Kan. - One of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers is asking Kansas’ highest court to block a grand jury investigation of him and his Wichita clinic that was initiated by anti-abortion groups.Kansas is one of the few states where citizens can petition to impanel a grand jury. Anti-abortion groups collected nearly 7,900 signatures, more than three times the number required, to force Sedgwick County to create a grand jury to consider whether Dr. George Tiller violated a 1998 state law restricting late-term abortions.

Tiller denies the allegations and wants the Kansas Supreme Court to prevent the panel from convening. The grand jury is scheduled to meet Tuesday.

…

In Tiller’s petition to the Supreme Court, his attorneys argue that anti-abortion groups have a financial interest in his prosecution. Among other things, Tiller’s petition says, abortion opponents sold bumper stickers saying, “Charge Tiller. It’s the law.” The same slogan has appeared on T-shirts abortion opponents have worn at rallies.

Uh, but by his own “logic” he would have a “financial interest” in STOPPING his prosecution wouldn’t he? So what’s the difference?

This whole problem is solved when we stop ignoring that human life, by its biological definition, begins at conception and understand that protecting the right to “life” is one of the basic functions of legitimate government (see Declaration of Independence).

Oops. Sorry. I forgot. We can’t actually present facts when arguing with liberals!
