Remarks can be attributed to Mary Kay Culp who attended yesterday's hearing:

Yesterday, in Judge Tatum's court in Johnson County, District Attorney 
Phill Kline presented evidence to show that Planned Parenthood's lawyers 
may have a conflict of interest in representing Planned Parenthood  in 
Kline's case against Planned Parenthood. /  
/
The hearing was valuable for uncovering actions indicating Sebelius' 
hand-picked AG, Paul Morrison, gravely misused his office both to help 
Planned Parenthood avoid prosecution, as well as to hide all his court 
maneuverings on their behalf. (Court filings on these matters have 
been unjustifiably "sealed" from public scrutiny since at least June)

Judge Richard Anderson of Topeka was a witness in the hearing and his 
testimony indicates Morrison actively engaged in a coordinated campaign 
with Planned Parenthood to reclaim papers from Anderson --papers that 
police handwriting experts had told Anderson were forged.

Among other things, Judge Anderson testified that he found (from 
evidence Kline presented as AG over a two day hearing in 2004) probable 
cause to believe crimes had been committed by abortion clinics. He also 
said that  "Morrison probably should not have issued a clearance letter" 
to Planned Parenthood (last summer.) 

The judge's remark about the clearance letter was based on his testimony 
that state abortion reports which Planned Parenthood gave to his court 
appeared to have been falsified.

The judge wasn't asked and thus didn't say if he suspected Morrison's 
work to help get Planned Parenthood's records back was based on Morrison 
knowing the records had problems, but it certainly begs 
the question--especially given that Morrison filed a mandamus action 
against the judge after he refused to hand over the records.  It would 
also help explain Morrison's motivation regarding Linda Carter's claim 
that Morrison repeatedly tried to get her to find out information about 
Kline's case.

Of course, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius has not questioned 
Morrison's actions. Instead she has  done a Vogue Magazine photo shoot 
for their February issue, and allowed a man who has clearly abused his 
office an extra 40 days in which to do so. (Vogue Magazine's January 
issue features an article defending partial-birth abortion.)

All this gives us every confidence that the Governor's appointment of 
Morrison's replacement will be someone similarly charged with enforcing 
her political agenda over and above the Kansas late-term abortion law so 
despised by Planned Parenthood and top Kansas Democratic financier, 
late-term abortionist George Tiller! 

Kansas law stipulates that every late abortion have a report made about 
it to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE).

After Judge Anderson got the medical records he subpoenaed, he assigned 
special counsel Stephen Cavanaugh to protect their privacy and make sure 
they were completely redacted of identifying information. Cavanaugh made 
it crystal clear in court today that he did just that.

Judge Anderson had two doctors to review the records. The doctors 
noticed that the KDHE reports were not turned in by PP with the medical 
records. Kansas law stipulates that copies of these reports be kept in 
the medical records.

At that time Planned Parenthood was informed that the KDHE reports were 
missing and instructed to turn them in.  They did, but evidently they 
did not turn in copies of the originals sent to the state, perhaps 
because they failed to keep a copy of the originals in their medical 
records, as required by law. They apparently did turn in what *looked 
like *copies, but upon inspection were deemed to be newly and falsely 
made up reports. In other words, PP told the court they were copies of 
the originals, but apparently weren't.

/_Judge Anderson testified that he was so concerned about the 
discrepancy with the records produced by Planned Parenthood that the 
Judge, on his own, asked a Topeka Police Department handwriting expert 
to review the records.  The expert concluded the records "don't match 
up."_//_ _/

Last summer Morrison asked Judge Anderson for the PP files back.  Not 
long after that, Planned Parenthood's lawyer showed up at Judge 
Anderson's office to get the files, but the judge, after having become 
suspicious of the records, refused to turn them over. 

Morrison then did something pretty insulting, nervy and unprecedented. 
He filed a mandamus action against Judge Anderson. 

Morrison apparently thought he was elected to protect Planned Parenthood 
rather than the public, and indeed he was!  We have a document showing 
that Planned Parenthood had phone banks at their offices during the last 
election, but they deny that they made phone calls encouraging people to 
vote for Morrison. (Perhaps they were making phone calls to elect Kay 
O'Connor!)

Yesterday's testimony also indicated that the Planned Parenthood 
reports showed that they didn't do tests for viability on babies 22 
weeks or more in gestation, as is clearly required by law, and that they 
decided that 24 weeks was more to their liking. Certainly Morrison had 
to know that too!

Judge Tatum said Kline could proceed to schedule the preliminary hearing 
for the felony charges. That hearing is predicted to take place in March 
or April.  At that time Kline must present evidence sufficient for the 
judge to find the case should go to trial. 

*In summary, for the first time I am aware of, a sitting District Court 
Judge (Anderson) testified that there were serious discrepancies with 
the Planned Parenthood documents, that a handwriting expert confirmed 
the problems, and that Morrison should not have issued the clearance 
letter to them. This is strong stuff.*

Planned Parenthood won the motion in that their attorneys are still 
allowed on the case. But by bringing it up now, Kline got the Judges 
testimony public, and he prevented Planned Parenthood from later 
claiming their attorneys had a conflict and delaying the trial, or later 
challenging any conviction on that ground.

Not delaying the trial is key as these 2003 records have a five year 
statute of limitations and they will begin to time out, one by one, 
starting in July of THIS YEAR!

There appear to be more layers of secrecy and corruption covering up the 
Morrison/Planned Parenthood/Sebelius/Tiller affair than sewn into the 
designer gowns the governor modeled for Vogue Magazine!
