Courts go after abortion rights

Right wing religious cooks from around the country have finally brought George Tiller, one of the only late abortion doctors practicing in the US, to court. Religious fanatics have targeted this man with around the clock harassment of his home and business for years now, trying to shut him down. He has even been shot in both arms by zealots who have taken the laws they can’t get passed into their own hands.
His offensis are minor compared to what his enemies would like. But he does face the possibility of losing his medical license. If he loses it would be a big loss for women who need late term abortions for medical emergencies.
The antiwomen fanatics really don’t care if women die, they want the fetus to get a higher status of importance than living women. These people are anti-women.

Tiller trial set to begin on Monday

For abortion opponents, the trial of one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers has been a long time coming, a chance for a little bit of justice after years of seeing their efforts thwarted.
To abortion-rights supporters, George Tiller's trial is the culmination of repeated harassment, a witch hunt in which foes have been willing to do anything and everything to gain a conviction.
The Wichita doctor faces trial Monday on charges that he repeatedly violated Kansas' abortion law in a criminal case that could threaten his medical license.
Tiller is charged with 19 misdemeanors alleging that he failed to obtain a second, independent opinion for late-term abortions from an independent physician, as required by Kansas law. If convicted, he could face a year in the county jail or a fine of $2,500 for each misdemeanor charge.
Sedgwick County District Judge Clark Owens has set aside three days for jury selection. Opening arguments and trial testimony are set to begin March 23.
