BY LifeSiteNews.com WICHITA, Kansas, July 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - District Court Judge Clark V. Owens released a 35-page opinion today on the constitutional challenge to the Kansas post-viability abortion ban, saying that the ban "survives all of the constitutional challenges" presented by notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller. As such, Tiller’s motion to dismiss the 19 criminal charges against him was denied.    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. "We have just one thing to say to Tiller today and that is, ‘See you in court!’" said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Today’s ruling by Judge Owens vindicates our efforts to bring Tiller to justice. All along, we knew that it wasn’t the law that was faulty, but it was Tiller’s interpretation of the law that was faulty. This gives us a glimmer of hope that we could eventually see some shred of justice."    (Operation Rescue will post the entire text of the decision soon at www.operationrescue.org) See related LifeSiteNews.com coverage:Abortionist Tiller Likely to Escape Late Term Abortion Chargeshttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jul/08070306.htmlJudge Orders that Tiller Abortion Records Must Be Given to Grand Juryhttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jan/08013102.htmlKansas Voters Let Abortionist, George “Tiller the Killer”, Possibly Avoid Criminal Investigation http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/nov/06110904.htmlKansas Abortionist Killed Late-Term Babies for “Maternal Depression”: Fox News http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/nov/06110606.htmlKansas Investigation into Child Rape Blocked by Two Secret Abortion Clinicshttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/feb/05022505.htmlAbortion Clinic Caught Shredding Documents as Kansas Court Considers Mandating Records Releasehttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/sep/05090601.html"I Left My Dead Baby In The Toilet" - Former Patient of Abortionist Tells O’Reilly Factorhttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/dec/06121304.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/judge-upholds-kansas-post-viability-abortion-ban-tiller-will-face-charges/
