American life League exposes the bias and hypocrisy of the main-stream media following the murder of abortionist George Tiller, which is very revealing and shares new information.

An Amazing Post from Parenting Freedom : I join other truly pro-life people who believe it was wrong for someone to take on the role of judge, jury, and executioner of abortionist George Tiller. All life is precious. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 Even while condemning this tragedy, I cannot forget that George Tiller killed 60,000 unborn human beings. Last night, I dreamed about the babies. I dreamed about the baby funerals and baptisms that Tiller arranged for his patients. I knew I had to share these links with you.

Via Motherhood in Real Time: George Tiller aborted babies up until due date. He was notorious. But today he was murdered in his church. This is a tragedy. I hate abortion. I hate late term abortion. I wish it was outlawed but have agreed to spend my life encouraging dialogue. My calling is to communicate to people the reasons WHY we disagree with abortions. I believe his murder put our ability as pro lifers back to the 1970's where we were known as crazy lunatics. Go here to read the rest and watch the video.

Operation Rescue reports that a late - term abortionist Tiller employee is honored by Obama at the White House: Gold Star Mother Betty Pulliam, who lost a son in Viet Nam, now works to take the lives of other women's sons and daughters at George Tiller late-term abortion mill in Wichita, Kansas. Yesterday, she breakfasted with President Obama and was honored in our nation's capital as part of a Memorial Day observance. This is yet another connection between Obama and late-term abortionist George Tiller. Obama's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, had close connections with Tiller. Pulliam was among those who were honored by Sebelius at a party held in Tiller's honor at the Kansas governor's mansion. Pulliam, at 83, volunteers her time at Tiller's clinic on busy abortion days. She told the Wichita Eagle of her role as a Gold Star Mother, "You really don't want to belong to this club because in order to belong to this club, you ...

Apparently Kathleen Sebelius had trouble with math in school. She can't get her taxes right. She can't remember how much money she's received from the infamous late - term abortionist Tiller the Killer. The Washington career of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius may be in danger after it was revealed that the Health nominee reported only a fraction of her campaign contributions from Kansas' late-term abortionist George Tiller. At least one GOP senator reportedly said the issue has raised doubts among Republican senators about the governor, a well-known champion of abortion that Obama picked to head the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS). After the full senate confirmation vote was delayed earlier this month, the Senate Finance Committee probed Sebelius' connection to notorious late-term Kansas abortionist George Tiller in a list of questions that were published this week with the governor's answers. However, in her answers Sebelius reported only about one...

Tiller’s late-term abortion income alone in 2003 was actually close to $1.2 million Wichita, KS – Abortion records kept by the Kansas State Department of Health and Environment prove that, during his trial, late-term abortionist George R. Tiller misrepresented the number of post-viability abortions done at his Wichita clinic by nearly 50%. Tiller indicated that the average cost of a post-viability abortion is $6,000. He pockets 38 cents on every dollar generated. Using that average, post-viability abortions conservatively generated over $2.9 million in 2003, with Tiller’s take being close to $1.2 million. “That much money is plenty of incentive to commit perjury,” said Newman. “And that figure does not take early abortion profits into consideration. Tiller is making a killing off killing babies. With the kind of money changing hands, it is no wonder that Tiller and his attorneys will stoop to any level to keep the dollars rolling in.” Read the entire article here.

Urgent Action Alert! CALL YOUR SENATOR TODAY! Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will testify tomorrow, March 31, at 10:00 am EDT before the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to examine her nomination to the cabinet post of Secretary of Health and Human Services. This hearing is a courtesy and no vote will be taken on her nomination at that time. Sebelius will then appear before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee for examination on Thursday, April 2, at 10:00 AM EDT. They will vote on her confirmation. If the vote is not unanimous, her nomination will then go to the full Senate. "Gov. Sebelius is unfit to serve as Secretary of HHS because she owes her career to support from the radical the abortion lobby. As HHS Secretary, she will have a platform whereby she can influence abortion policy, which could cost thousands of innocent lives," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "The fact that she entertained late-term abortionist George Tiller and ...

I heard some vague information about this on the five 0'clock news this evening and now Operation Rescue is reporting on it: Tiller could still lose his medical license Wichita, KS – Just after a jury in Sedgwick County, Kansas, returned not guilty verdicts in the criminal case against late-term abortionist George Tiller, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts released to the public a petition it filed in December listing eleven allegations against Tiller’s license. According to a statement released by the KSBHA, “ Violations alleged include performing an abortion on a fetus that was viable without having a documented referral from another physician not legally or financially affiliated with him; unprofessional or dishonorable conduct or professional incompetency; and commitment of acts likely to deceive, defraud or harm the public.” The KSBHA also indicated that the case they have filed against Tiller is independent from the criminal charges and will proceed in its own merits. T...

Via Politico.com today : Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius moved a step forward in the confirmation process ... ... Thursday as two Senate committees set hearing dates. Sebelius will appear Tuesday before the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and on April 2 before the Finance Committee. The Kansas governor is slated to fill the only remaining vacancy in the Cabinet. President Barack Obama had nominated former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to serve as HHS secretary, but he withdrew from consideration in early February amid questions about his taxes. *** When I read this on KAKE News last night , I thought that they planned this out so well. Just as Tiller's trial concludes, Sebelius' confirmation is scheduled. As a pro-death protector of Tiller and late-term abortion, she has no business serving as HHS Secretary. But she fits in so well with pro-death Obama's agenda... I don't know what will happen on April 2, but I am going to begi...

Via Operation Rescue: Wichita, KS - The defense rested in the criminal trial of late-term abortionist George Tiller today. Judge Clark Owens sent the jury home for the day while attorneys for both sides worked in chambers to hammer out the jury instructions that will be presented to the panel of six tomorrow after closing arguments. Concluding her testimony today was former Tiller attorney Rachel Pirner, whose demeanor under the questioning of Assistant Attorney General Barry Disney was argumentative, and at times obnoxious. Pirner did testify, however, that while the Kansas Board of Healing Arts issued a clarification on the second physician rule, indicating that the second physician had to be a "Kansas" physician, it never issued any ruling or clarification regarding the prohibition on their financial and legal affiliation. Disney revealed that the Board has filed a "complaint" against Tiller alleging that Tiller had an improper affiliation with Neuhaus. Pirner d...

Wichita, KS -- Taking the stand in his own defense, embattled late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller defended himself on state charges of 19 counts of doing illegal late-term abortions. Tiller said during the trial that the head of the state medical board authorized him to use a second physician who worked for him. Tiller has been charged with 19 counts of violating a state law that requires an independent physician to sign off on the legitimacy of late-term abortions. He relied on fellow abortion practitioner Kristen Neuhaus , an employee of his, to provide the okay for the abortions instead of using an independent physician who could assess whether they were medically necessary. Attorneys for Tiller hinted on the first day of the trial that this would be the tactic they would use in an attempt to get him off the hook. Tiller attorney Dan Monnat told Sedgwick County District Judge Clark Owens and the six members of the jury that Tiller was acting under the approval of Larry Bu...

From Operation Rescue : March 23rd, 2009 Wichita, KS - Opening day of Tiller's trial was marked with repeated motions to dismiss, which were denied, and conflicting testimony from the State's only witness, abortionist Ann Kristin Neuhaus . Assistant Attorney General Barry Disney filed a motion asking for Judge Clark V. Owens II to disallow the proposed defense that Tiller was not responsible for violating the law since he consulted with his attorneys. Disney told the judge that his motion was simply asking the defense to comply with the law. The judge agreed that the defense was invalid and that he would likely sustain any objections Disney might make if that defense was used. During opening arguments, Disney told that jury that Neuhaus was recruited by Tiller and trained by her attorneys. Tiller's attorneys prepared the referral letter that Neuhaus signed to rubberstamp the late-term abortions. Neuhaus had no private practice in 2003, the time frame from which the charges ...

On the day before late-term abortionist's George Tiller's trial, Operation Rescue has released a video of a botched abortion at his infamous abortion mill in Wichita, KS. As I reported on Thursday, it is not known whether the woman is dead or alive. This video shows the need to convict Tiller and get him out of business. He and his staff present an extreme danger to the public,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman who photographed the ambulance at the hospital emergency room. “We urge Christians everywhere to join us in praying that Tiller will be convicted and his abortion mill will be permanently closed.” Operation Rescue, the Christian Defense Coalition, and other pro-life groups will muster in Wichita for prayer that justice will be served during the court proceedings. Tiller his been charges with 19 counts of illegally aborting viable babies without the concurring opinion of an unaffiliated Kansas physician. Go here for prayer schedule details . For those who are ...

Wichita, KS – Just four days before jury selection begins in late-term abortionist George R. Tiller’s criminal trial, a woman was transported to the emergency room by ambulance from Tiller’s abortion clinic, Women’s Health Care Services. Sedgwick County ambulance number 23 left Tiller’s clinic at approximately 2:15 PM Central Daylight Time and transported a woman to Wesley Medical Center with no lights or sirens running. The patient was rushed into the emergency room with her head covered, leaving witnesses to wonder if she was alive or dead. Read the rest here. Photo: Courtesy of Operation Rescue . View additional photos (Click thumbnails for full photo.) Update from Mark S. Gietzen : Today we logged our 9th Ambulance-Call from Tiller’s gate. We know that today’s situation is a serious matter, because Tiller has stopped calling an ambulance for “lessor emergencies” due to the bad publicity he gets from our reports. For example, our report of an ambulance call in January of 2005, led...

Judie Brown The nomination of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is more solid proof our new president has no concern for the health of Americans. Rather, Obama’s modus operandi has been, and will continue to be, a full-scale attack on the personhood of the weak, disabled and preborn. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Obama’s pick to lead the nation’s chief agency for health care, has made no secret of her radical support for the abortion movement. Indeed she has praised, defended and treated to dinner at the governor’s mansion the notorious Dr. George Tiller – set to stand trial for performing illegal late-term abortions. MORE To protest this nomination, sign the petition at Catholics Against Kathleen Sebelius. American Life League also has a petition against HHS Appointment of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius here.

Washington D.C., Mar 3, 2009 / 01:52 pm ( CNA ).- Catholic opponents of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ nomination to become Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have launched a new website which decries her “extremist support for abortion” and solicits petition signatures protesting her nomination. The site www.catholicsagainstsebelius.org characterizes Gov. Sebelius, a Democrat and self-described Catholic, as “an avid supporter of the most radical abortion politics.” It notes her legislative and gubernatorial efforts to promote and defend unrestricted abortion access, criticizing her vetoes for abortion clinic safety regulations and laws requiring informed consent. Also reported at the site are Sebelius’ connections to late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who is facing criminal charges for allegedly performing illegal late-term abortions. The governor hosted a party for Tiller at the governor’s mansion after he purchased the event as part of a fundraiser...

'Tis the season to sock it to Phill Kline. It's time to beat up on the annoying pro-life Christian attorney again. In her post today , Jill Stanek shares: I wrote in my column yesterday that part of Planned Parenthood of KS/George Tiller's strategy to beat Phill Kline's rap against them is to file nuisance lawsuits and subpoenas to persecute their prosecutor. The ink is barely dry on the KS Supreme Court's latest decision against PP and in favor of Kline, and the Associated Press is reporting PP plans to file its SIXTH subpoena against Kline to go over the same issue: the working copies of records he has.... This is interesting . According to Jill, as she understands it , the subpoena cites no case law or statute. It has been filed without legal precedent. A hearing is scheduled for December 18 before the very same judge, Stephen Tatum - who has yet to schedule a hearing to decide whether Kline has enough evidence against PP to go to trial!

I received this information via email, which was sent to me late last night, from Mark Gietzen, Kansas Coalition for Life: On October 1, at 6:20 pm, KCFL on-site volunteer, Brandi Lozier, called from the gate of the Tiller Late-term abortion facility in Wichita, KS, and said that Edna Roach, an employee of Abortionist Tiller, came into Tiller's parking lot at a high rate of speed, carrying a distressed abortion client. According to Brandi, as Edna slowed down enough to make the corner at Tiller's gate, she, Brandi, could see a Caucasian lady - laying-back in the front seat on the passenger side of Edna's car. (This client was likely being transported from a hotel room, where she was waiting to deliver an already-dead baby. Routinely, late-term babies are killed by injection on Tuesdays at Tiller’s late-term abortion facility – but usually do not deliver until Thursday or Friday.) Edna proceeded to the front door of Tiller's building, and began blowing her car horn repea...

Operation Rescue has released the most up-to-date list of abortion clinic workers employed by George R. Tiller at his late-term abortion mill, Women's Health Care Services, in Wichita, Kansas. The list includes twenty-two people, including three out-of-state abortionists who travel to Kansas to do abortions, including late-term procedures that are illegal in their home states. "We are releasing this list of abortion workers in order to expose them to the community, and to elicit prayers for their repentance," said Operation Rescue Senior Policy Advisor Cheryl Sullenger. "As Christians, we are concerned about them as people, and understand that sometimes it takes 'tough love' to help someone see the destructive path they are taking, so that they can make the changes necessary to have a better life," Sullenger said. "Most people who quit the abortion industry tell us that they are relieved to be out of that business, and say that leaving improved thei...

Via Operation Rescue : Late-term abortionist George R. Tiller is spending a lot on lawyers these days, with cases in three different venues moving along at a glacial pace. These cases can be summarized in three words: delay, delay, delay. Earlier this week, the Kansas Supreme Court finally ruled that subpoenas for evidence issued by a citizen-called grand jury in January can finally be honored, after four months of delays in an investigative process that is supposed to last just 90 days. With the clock ticking on the new July 8 deadline for the grand jury to complete its investigation, the Court placed a maze of complex hurdles on the process of redacting patient identifying information that could be used by Tiller’s high-priced legal team to terminally delay the production of evidence. In another case, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts notified Operation Rescue representatives last week that two complaints against Tiller and two of his hired abortionists are still pending.
