So far, whenever Tiller’s records are targeted for investigation, Tiller 's attorneys alledge violation of women’s privacy even though the records are redacted – meaning personal information is blacked out. Donna Lippoldt
of the new Kansas Family Policy Council says because the records have remained sealed, people are wondering if Tiller is above the law.
“If he doesn’t ever have to produce any records then how are we ever going to have any laws enforced in regards to stopping abortion.”
Mark Holick, a local pastor, was part of the Peoplearewatching-dot-com rally this week.
“We’d like to see the grand jury be allowed to their job—simply to do what is legal and allowed for any grand jury to be able to do in the state of Kansas.”
This week the Kansas Supreme Court held a hearing on Tiller's request to quash the grand jury's access to the records. Mary Kay Culp and 30 Kansans for Life rallied outside the Court building.
“We wore binoculars around our neck today because we want the court to know that we are watching to see if they apply the law equally. If they apply the law equally then the medical records, with identifying information removed will be supplied to the grand jurors who requested it so they can investigate whether Tiller is doing late-term abortions outside our legal parameters.”
She says the Supreme Court block on access to the records is one more example of Tiller calling the shots.
