Kline’s case against abortion doctor finished
February 15, 2007

Topeka — Former Attorney General Phill Kline's attempt to prosecute the state's most visible abortion provider, already stymied by his re-election loss, is now officially over, thanks to his successor.
When Kline, a Republican who opposes abortion, left office Jan. 8, the Kansas Supreme Court had been asked to reinstate 30 misdemeanor charges Kline had filed against Dr. George Tiller, who operates a Wichita clinic.
Tiller is among a few doctors in the nation who perform late-term abortions, and Kline alleged he violated restrictions on those procedures.
Morrison, a Democrat who supports abortion rights, asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the request, and the court did Tuesday.
Chief Justice Kay McFarland wrote "granted" on the one-page document Morrison's office had filed.
The court offered no explanation, though a dismissal is routine when someone no longer wants to pursue a case.

Yes, PC's reign is finally over!! It sounded as though someone or something set him off after the election and he was going to go down fighting…for what? If this had been such a priority for him, why didn't he start this fight when he first got into office???
“Gottta hurry, lest i might go down in history as a “do-nothing”/”good for nothing” like George W. Bush!
End the war in Iraq…put Georgie AND his two “poor” daughters in uniform and send them to the front lines!!!!

“Sacrifices to Baal” will continue, until we cut off the “business” at the source. After all, it's basic kindergarten-level knowledge that no business can stay afloat for long… without customers coming through the doors…

Where is the Morrison press conference where he gives his reason to dismiss the case? He had plenty of press conferences to denounce Kline's case against Tiller and Planned Parenthood.
Come on, Morrison, explain why you decided the case had no merit.
Tool.
