Kansas Investigation into Child Rape Blocked by Two Secret Abortion Clinics

Supreme Court sealed the names of abortion mills fighting AG Kline over late-term abortion records

WICHITA, Kansas., February 25, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline has asked for the records of 90 women who had abortions after 22 weeks gestation at two unnamed abortion clinics in an investigation into reports of child sex abuse of minor girls. Currently, abortion clinics are exempt from reporting child sex abuse, even if they become aware of it. The two clinics, whose names have been sealed by the Kansas Supreme Court, are blocking the release of the records citing privacy concerns of their patients.

"Rape is a serious crime and when a 10, 11, or 12 year old is pregnant – they have been raped under Kansas law," said Kline in a press release dated February 24, 2005. "The child's privacy is always protected…no one has the right to rape or victimize a child or woman whether in private or public. There are two things child predators want: access to children and secrecy and as Attorney General, I am bound and determined to give them neither."

Operation Rescue believes that one of the unnamed clinics is late-term abortionist George Tiller's Women's Health Care Services in Wichita.

"We can put two and two together," said Operation Rescue president Troy Newman. "Tiller brags about being the largest late term abortion facility outside Communist China. Certainly no one in Kansas does as many late-term abortions as Tiller. We fully support the Attorney General's investigation and pray that he will gain access to these records and catch the child rapists that these clinics are covering for."

"We see very, very young girls going into Tiller's abortion mill on a regular basis and have reported this," said Cheryl Sullenger, a sidewalk counselor who offers help to women considering abortions outside Tiller's infamous abortion clinic. "Some appear to be as young as 10 or 11 years old. Whether you support abortion or not, everyone should be shocked that these clinics are not only protecting child sexual predators, but are also enabling them to continue to abuse by keeping their dirty little secrets."
