Phill Kline, the former Kansas attorney general who brought criminal charges against Planned Parenthood years before its body-parts trade was exposed, is suing the Kansas Supreme Court judges who rejected his case, indefinitely suspended his license and then stonewalled accusations of a pro-abortion bias.<\/p>\n

During his four years in office, Kline investigated the abortion cartel in his state, including late-term abortion specialist George Tiller, who was supported by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Kline discovered dozens of cases of abortions of underage children that should have been reported to authorities.<\/p>\n

With the approval of several district court judges, Kline prepared a long list of criminal counts against the abortionists.<\/p>\n

But the politically connected industry \u2013 Tiller had been socially entertained by Sebelius \u2013 first spent $2 million to defeat Kline in his bid for re-election and then orchestrated the dismissal of the charges. Kline ultimately was accused of handling the charges improperly, and his law license in Kansas was suspended..<\/p>\n

According to Kline\u2019s lawyers, he now has filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief in federal court in Kansas against the justices of the state Supreme Court and the replacement judges who issued the Oct. 18, 2013, decision.<\/p>\n

Five of the justices had to recuse from Kline\u2019s case, and his federal lawsuit explains the substitutes failed to meet the state constitution\u2019s requirements for a judicial panel.<\/p>\n

The case also names Kansas Disciplinary Administrator Stan Hazlett.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges multiple other procedural and constitutional failings by the state court, including due process and equal protection violations, the unlawful composition of the court, arbitrary conduct, conflict of interest and openly illegal actions of a court clerk. One court system employee even tweeted insults to Kline from inside a courtroom during one of the hearings on the case.<\/p>\n

In a statement prepared on the dispute, Thomas W. Condit, the Cincinnati lawyer who had argued Kline\u2019s case at the time, said: \u201cPhill Kline was a highly well-respected attorney general who has a great respect for the rule of law. I have spent enough time with hi[m] to know that beyond any doubt. The idea that he ever attempted to lie or to mislead a court is preposterous.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThe panel of attorneys who heard Kline\u2019s disciplinary case and the jurists who sat in violation of the Kansas Constitution to attack his law license should be ashamed of their own lawlessness and the objective falsehoods in their own decisions. Mr. Kline set out to protect young girls from sexual abuse and to enforce the abortion laws passed by the people of Kansas. What he encountered was the tentacles of the abortion industry, apparently touching and corrupting everything in its way. This has been the worst abortion jurisprudence I have ever seen, and I have litigated pro-life cases for 26 years. It can only be described by a four-letter word: EVIL.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement noted the allegations in the federal court lawsuit. Among them are:<\/p>\n

A special counsel \u201cappointed for a Johnson County grand jury, conspiring and crafting a secret agreement with Planned Parenthood that subverted the purpose of the grand jury\u201d;
\nThe attorneys on an ethics panel investigating Kline had contributed financially to his opponents and then refused to voluntarily disclose that detail;
\nHazlett deliberately withheld exculpatory evidence;
\n\u201cMisrepresentations\u201d from the Kansas Supreme Court that found Kline \u201cguilty of things he did not say and did not so.\u201d
\nKline became in 2003 the first chief prosecutor of any state to \u201cinvestigate and prosecute both Planned Parenthood and late-term abortionist George Tiller.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Kline<\/p><\/div>\n

He brings the case now against Daniel Biles, Nancy Moritz, Henry Green Jr., Karen Arnold-Burger, Edward Bouker, Bruce Gatterman, Michael Malone, Carol Green, Hazlett, Lawton Nuss, Carol Beier, Marla Luckert, Lee Johnson, Eric Rosen and Caleb Stegall, all clerks or judges either linked to the attacks on Kline or in a position to provide relief.<\/p>\n

Some \u201cindividually and collectively, acted contrary to both the United States Constitution and the Kansas Constitution to impose an illegitimate and void suspension of Mr. Kline\u2019s Kansas law license,\u201d the complaint charges. \u201cBy such conduct, those defendants deprived Mr. Kline of a valuable property interest without due process of law. Some of the other defendants, individual and collectively, have violated Mr. Kline\u2019s due process and equal protection rights in the past and, subject to the nature and extent of relief obtained in this action, pose a real and substantial risk of violating them in the future by the arbitrary application of laws, rules and procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The complaint explains the key point of Kline\u2019s investigation, that \u201cdata obtained from [the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services] and from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment revealed that 166 abortions had been performed on children age fourteen and under, including multiple late-term abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The abortions mostly had been done at Tiller\u2019s Women\u2019s Health Care Services and the Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park.<\/p>\n

Shawnee County Judge Richard Anderson, on evidence found by Kline, found \u201cprobable cause that crimes had been committed and that the clinic records contained evidence of those crimes \u2026 [including] child rape and illegal late-term abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the abortionists went directly to the state Supreme Court for help in quashing the cases, and a ruling was issued that authorized collection of the records. However, it was delayed until just weeks before that $2 million campaign succeeded in defeating Kline\u2019s bid for re-election.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn effect, the court delayed Mr. Kline\u2019s investigations until he could do nothing about the evidence he had obtained,\u201d the complaint states.<\/p>\n

His successor, Paul Morrison, had announced, \u201cwithout having seen the evidence, that he would not prosecute the centers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read the tested and proven strategies to defeat the abortion cartel, in \u201cAbortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

But since Kline immediately was appointed the prosecutor in Johnson County, where Planned Parenthood is located, he continued that segment of the case until Morrison joined with Planned Parenthood to demand \u201call copies\u201d of records he had obtained.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a separate judge found probable cause that Planned Parenthood committed at least 23 felonies, and charges were filed by Kline.<\/p>\n

Later, when the Supreme Court complained about Kline\u2019s investigation, the disciplinary agency\u2019s own investigation revealed there was \u201cno probable cause\u201d to proceed against Kline, but the report was immediately suppressed, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

The complaint explains the decision to punish Kline was invalid, because the state constitution requires all cases to be heard by at least four justices.<\/p>\n

When five of the seven justices recused because of their involvement in actions against Kline, other judges from the state were summoned to participate by one justice, who had no such constitutional authority, it alleges.<\/p>\n

A subsequent filing with the state court from Kline seeking to raise the issues was returned by the clerk.<\/p>\n

WND reported, when the state attacks on Kline were winding down, that the state Kansas Supreme Court simply refused to respond to charges the justices were biased.<\/p>\n

Dana Cody, executive director of Life Legal Defense Foundation, at the time called the state Supreme Court\u2019s decision an \u201coutrageous political lynching.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPhill courageously fought to enforce the law against abortion providers, particularly Planned Parenthood, and has been paying the price ever since. He deserves a fair hearing before an unbiased tribunal,\u201d Cody said.<\/p>\n

At the time, Condit had noted that the court took only five days to deny a 90-page motion \u201cthat proved objectively that the court\u2019s opinion misrepresented Mr. Kline\u2019s conduct in at least six different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn doing so, this court has joined the abortion industry in Kansas, the disciplinary administrator, the so-called ethics panel, and the pre-recusal court in a willful distortion of the facts to unjustly condemn Kline,\u201d he said. \u201cThe court\u2019s unwillingness to answer Mr. Kline\u2019s challenge to its own distortions will reinforce the belief of many observers that the Kline case was a sham from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Court officials have repeatedly declined to comment to WND.<\/p>\n

At the time the case was looming, WND commentator Jack Cashill pointed out Kline\u2019s discoveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf the 166 abortions performed on girls under 15 in the years 2002 and 2003, the clinics reported only three cases to the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. They should have reported all 166. Kline was prepared to press charges against both Tiller and CHPPKM. For reasons of ideology and campaign finance, Sebelius could not let this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWanting to make an example of Kline lest some other prosecutor challenge Planned Parenthood in the future, the activists on the Supreme Court prompted an ethics investigation into Kline\u2019s handling of the abortion cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newest investigation of Planned Parenthood, by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, has prompted investigations by both state and congressional committees. Texas has withdrawn funding from Planned Parenthood, and similar efforts are under way at the national level.<\/p>\n

CMP set up a fake company and sent investigators with concealed video cameras to Planned Parenthood clinics.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood officials were caught haggling over the price of baby body parts. A number of them talked about being paid per item, how they could adjust abortion procedures to salvage requested body parts and how they could create a revenue stream from such transactions.<\/p>\n

Two different expert investigations have concluded that the videos are substantially accurate.<\/p>\n

WND reported a congressional panel has subpoenaed and received all of the uncut videos.<\/p>\n

One video shows a Planned Parenthood executive worried about being \u201clow-balled\u201d in the sale of the body parts of aborted babies. In another, a Planned Parenthood executive explains the availability of \u201cintact\u201d fetal bodies. Another revealed an abortion executive talking about altering procedures to obtain the human organs that researchers would want.<\/p>\n

Another video features a former abortion worker explainin she was told to remove the brain from an aborted child whose heart was still beating.<\/p>\n

In the first undercover video released by CMP, Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood commented on crushing babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I\u2019m not gonna crush that part, I\u2019m gonna basically crush below, I\u2019m gonna crush above, and I\u2019m gonna see if I can get it all intact,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
