BOARD SHOULD REVOKE THE MEDICAL LICENSES OF 4 KANSAS DOCTORS INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL LATE-TERM ABORTIONS

At the time George Tiller was killed, the state of Kansas Healing Arts Board had already taken two out of three steps to revoke his medical license.

The Board - under a new executive director not allied with abortionists (as was the past one) - declared as a finding of fact, that illegal post-viability abortions were being performed at Tiller's facility for the past six years, because they were done without the legally required referrals of a doctor not financially or legally affiliated with the abortionist.

The Board said the referring doctor, Kristin Neuhaus, not only was illegally affiliated with Tiller, but that her entire income was derived from abortion referrals for his clinic!

The Board's assertion of criminal activity deserves continued aggressive action to prevent any and all Kansas abortion clinics from undermining the independent second physician requirement, or any other part of the 1998 post-viable ban in Kansas.

Therefore, we ( Kansans for Life ) continue to call for regulatory actions and revocation of the medical licenses of not only Kristin Neuhaus, but Tiller’s former associates LeRoy Carhart, Shelly Sella and Susan Robinson. In March, Tiller testified in court that these doctors also used Neuhaus for their referrals at his clinic.

Understandably, because of his murder, the Board has dropped the complaint against Dr. Tiller's license. Our concern is that unless the Board follows up on other related open complaints, the illegal activity cited could be continued by these other doctors who also utilized Neuhaus for referrals. This is especially urgent given that Leroy Carhart has announced his intention to open a late-term abortion clinic in Kansas.

For instance, an earlier, and still active, Kansans for Life complaint specifically asked the Board to take action against all Kansas-licensed doctors involved in illegal late-term abortions.

The 1998 Kansas ban on the abortion of viable babies has narrow exceptions, and carefully crafted requirements. Under the law, post-viability abortions can only be allowed if a second, unaffiliated Kansas-licensed physician verifies such an abortion is needed to prevent the death* of the mother or irreversible & substantial bodily** damage to, the mother.

* Since 1998, abortionists have been required to file state abortion reports, and none of the over 5,000 late-term abortions (nearly 3,000 of them on viable unborn babies) since then, have been reported as done to prevent the mother’s death. A ten year compilation of the abortion report statistics can be seen here.

** "Bodily" was interpreted by past Attorney General Stovall to include mental health.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
