Wichita, KS - On Monday, July 28, 2008, District Court Judge Clark V. Owens

released a 35-page opinion on Tiller’s constitutional challenge to the Kansas post-viability abortion ban, saying that “K.S.A. 65-6703 survives all of the constitutional challenges” presented by Tiller. Judge Clark therefore denied Tiller’s motion to dismiss the 19 criminal charges against him.

This ruling will send Tiller to trial to face allegations that he illegally aborted 19 viable babies without first having obtained the second concurring opinion from an unaffiliated Kansas physician. If convicted, Tiller faces the possibility of 19 years in jail.

The following day, Judge Owens denied Tiller’s request for a jury of 12 and ruled that the case could proceed with the state-mandated six jurors for misdemeanor cases.

A trial date has been set for March 16, 2009. However, a week-long hearing has been scheduled to begin on November 17, 2008, where Tiller’s legal team is expected to present a motion to suppress the 19 abortion records upon which the charges against Tiller are based.

Tiller has been charged with committing illegal late-term abortions without having sought the second concurring opinion of a second Kansas physician who is legally and financially unaffiliated with him. Instead, abortionist Ann Kristin Neuhaus provided the second signature for all Tiller’s post-viability abortions even though she had illegal affiliations with him.

Operation Rescue has announced that it will conduct prayer vigils and a prophetic witness during the November hearing and the March, 2009, trial. This campaign, which will be known as “A Call For Justice,” will also include a multi-media public awareness campaign.

TILLER CHARGED WITH 19 CRIMINAL COUNTS

Wichita, KS – Attorney General Paul Morrison has announced that he is filing 19 misdemeanor charges against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller because he used a second physician that was not financially or legally unassociated with him, as required by law.

Tiller is scheduled for arraignment on August 7 at 10:30 AM in the Sedgwick County District Court in Wichita.

Operation Rescue has been reporting since August, 2006, that they suspected that Tiller’s association with Dr. Ann Kristen Neuhaus was an illegal one. Neuhaus was listed as a witness when Former Attorney General Phill Kline filed 30 criminal charges against Tiller last December. Those charges were dismissed on shaky jurisdictional grounds.

In his announcement, Morrison trivialized the murder of late-term children by calling the charges a “technical violations.”

“While we are happy that charges are being filed against Tiller, we are guarded about this because we believe that these charges are the weakest against Tiller. There is now a pattern of illegal activity by abortionist Tiller and Kline’s investigation is proven to have merit,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

“Now, because we have charges on the 2003 records, we insist that Morrison subpoena the 2004 and 2005 abortion records. Furthermore, in order for justice to be done, the criminal late-term abortion charges against Tiller, as supported by Psychiatrist Dr. Paul McHugh must be reinstated,” said Newman.

Kline filed 15 charges alleging illegal late-term abortion were committed by Tiller for reasons such as so a woman could go to a rock concert.

“We believe the filing of charges against Tiller vindicates Kline’s investigation of Tiller,” said Newman. “There is a pattern of abuses and illegal activity that is going on at Tiller’s mill. This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

On January 13, 2005, a healthy 19-year old disabled girl named Christin Alysabeth Gilbert died at a hospital in Wichita, Kansas, from complications to a third trimester abortion procured at Women’s Health Care Services, and abortion mill owned by the notorious George R. Tiller.

Fortunately, Christin’s tragedy is perhaps the best-documented abortion-related death in the history of Roe v. Wade.

View our new video presentation about Christin and the need for an independent Grand Jury Investigation. This 7-minute video is suitable for presenting in your church or group.

There exists probable cause for an investigation into Christin’s death. Information uncovered in numerous documents has been carefully reviewed by attorneys and physicians who have indicated that laws of the State of Kansas may have been violated.

No charges have ever been filed against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller in the death of Christin A. Gilbert. A complaint against Tiller was filed with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, the agency responsible for discipline in the medical profession. However, in spite of thousands of calls and e-mails from concerned citizens demanding disciplinary action against Tiller for Christin's death, that board determined on November 23, 2005, that there was no violation of the healing arts act and have closed the case against Tiller. In fact, the lack of interest in Christin’s death by the authorities and the media indicates that there may be a cover-up in progress.

If there is to be justice for Christin, it will have to be brought with the help of the people of Sedgwick County, Kansas.

The State of Kansas provides that the citizens may call for the convening of a Grand Jury though a petition process (KSA 22-3001).
