Kansas: Kline presses to get abortion records
The Kansas City Star Prime Buzz blog reports:
If district attorneys in Kansas can’t subpoena abortion records, then the state’s late-term abortion law is essentially unenforceable at the county level, Johnson County’s district attorney contends.
In a legal brief filed Monday, Phill Kline argued that a judge should order the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to turn over the 23 late-term abortion records he has subpoenaed. Kline wants the records to bolster his criminal case against Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri and its clinic in Overland Park . . .
A ruling is expected on Monday.
