Kansas Supreme Court To Rule Today On Kline's Planned Parenthood Criminal Case
The Kansas Supreme Court says it will rule Friday on an abortion clinic's attempt to force a prosecutor to return patients' medical records that have become key evidence for criminal charges against it. The clinic, operated by Planned Parenthood in Overland Park, argues that Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline, an anti-abortion Republican, obtained the records improperly. Kline contends the clinic is trying to block his prosecution of 107 charges alleging it performed illegal late-term abortions and falsified documents. The case is highly unusual because the clinic asked the Supreme Court to intervene even before Kline filed his charges, which include 23 felonies.
