New Tiller Grand Jury Set to Convene January 8, 2008!

December 3rd, 2007

Wichita, KS – A grand jury investigation into suspected criminal wrong-doing by late-term abortionist George R. Tiller has been scheduled to convene in Sedgwick County on January 8. Retired District Court Judge Paul Buchanan will oversee the investigation.

The grand jury, which was called via the citizen’s petition process, had originally been scheduled to convene on October 30, 2007, but was delayed while the Court considered a Writ of Mandamus filed by Tiller asking for a special exemption from the laws governing the convening of citizen-called grand jury investigations and demanding that the grand jury not be seated.

Operation Rescue filed a motion to intervene in the case.

On November 29, Justice McFarland lifted the stay and ordered the grand jury to convene.

“We are thankful that the laws regarding the rights of the people to seek justice through the grand jury petition process are being respected. It is a true victory for the rule of law,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We look forward to a full investigation and pray for justice to be served.”

Registered voters, over three times the number required by law, are asking the grand jury to investigate illegal abortions that may have been committed by Tiller over the past four years.

“While this will not specifically investigate Christin Gilbert’s tragic death, it may serve in the end to bring the abortionist responsible for her death to justice,” said Cheryl Sullenger, spokesperson for the Justice for Christin Coalition.

Tiller was charged in June with 19 criminal counts of committing illegal late-term abortions over a narrow time-span in 2003, without an independent physician’s signature. The state contends that Tiller and abortionist Ann Kristin Neuhaus were legally and financially associated, in violation of the Kansas ban on post-viability abortions. Because that business relationship continued into 2007, there is the likelihood that Tiller is responsible for hundreds of illegal abortions.

The grand jury will also be asked determine if Tiller committed abortions past viability to trivial reasons in violation of the law. Dr. Paul McHugh, a nationally renowned expert in psychiatry who examined Tiller medical records last year at the request of former Attorney General Phill Kline, came forward in June and stated in a interview posted on YouTube.com and the Operation Rescue web site that he believed Tiller was misusing psychiatry to justify abortions in violation of the law.

Kansas Abortion Industry's Criminality Exposed!

Amazing developments as 40 Days For Life prayer campaign to stop abortion continues

Wichita, KS -- October 9, 2007 -- George Tiller and other abortionists around Kansas are having a bad day.  Never since abortion was decriminalized over three decades ago has the abortion industry been in such a bind.

We believe this is an answer to fervent, purposeful, and focused prayer.

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."  -James 5:16

We are in our 14th day of prayer in our 40 Days For Life campaign and we are amazed to see what God is doing.  We are seeing what Operation Rescue President Troy Newman calls a "full court press" against the abortion industry in Kansas. 

Here is what is going on in Wichita and around the state:

Abortionist George Tiller:

  • Charged with 19 criminal counts of illegal abortion.  This case is pending.  He faces up to 19 years in jail and nearly $50,000 in fines.

  • Faces a grand jury investigation that could uncover literally hundreds of violations of the law in the past five years. 

  • Faces two open investigations with the Kansas Board of Healing Arts for illegal abortions, illegal financial association with abortionist Ann Kristin Neuhaus, and 14 accusations of illegal and unethical conduct that violated the standard of care in the 2003 late abortion of Michelle Armesto.  This could cost him his medical license.

  • Faces an ongoing investigation of the Kansas Legislature.

Abortionist Sherman Zaremski:

  • Faces an open complaint with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts for not reporting the statutory rape of a 12-year old girl by her step-father, Robert Estrada.  Zaremski's concealment of the rape allowed Estrada to continue to attack his two young step-daughters for several years resulting in a total of 4 pregnancies.  He needs to be held accountable for that.

Abortion Business Planned Parenthood:

  • The L.I.F.E. Coalition, comprised of Operation Rescue, Concerned Women for America, and Women Influencing the Nation, have launched a citizen petition to convene a grand jury in Johnson County, Kansas, to investigate 7 allegations of illegal activity on the part of Planned parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

  • Missouri state regulations threaten to close all of this branch's Missouri offices.

It is no accident that the Kansas abortion industry is on the ropes.  We believe that the doors that have opened for us to aggressively pursue them have opened only as a result of prayer.

  • In January, 2007, Operation Rescue conducted "A Cry for Justice" event focusing on prayer coupled with action to bring Tiller to justice for criminal activity uncovered in part by our ministry. The next month the Kansas Legislature decided to get involved and initiated efforts to compel various agencies to enforce the law.

  • In May we sponsored the 72-hour "Pray In May" round-the-clock vigil outside Tiller's abortion mill asking for divine intervention in the affairs of men to bring stop Tiller's child-killing business and bring him to justice.  A couple of weeks later Dr. Paul McHugh, a renowned psychiatrist who examined abortion records from Tiller's came forward with bombshell testimony that he believed Tiller was misusing psychiatry to circumvent the Kansas laws banning post-viability abortions.  On June 28, Attorney General Paul Morrison, an avid abortion supporter who ran on the issue that abortion investigations were a waste of resources and violation of patient privacy, charged Tiller with 19 counts of illegal late-term abortions.  That was nothing short of a miracle!

  • In July, Operation Rescue hosted the "Wichita Awakening," a prayer event attended by over 500 young people from across the nation, and a total of over 1,000 people over the course of the event.  About a week later, Tiller's clinic temporarily closed and remained closed for the next 3 ½ weeks!  This closure was unprecedented.  In all, Tiller remained closed for a total of 38 days over the summer months.  During the following weeks, Kansans for Life gathered enough signatures to convene a grand jury investigation, and legislative hearings were held in Topeka to investigate Tiller's late-term abortion business.

  • On September 26, we began a 40 Days For Life vigil outside Tiller's abortion mill, which will conclude on November 4.  Since then, Tiller's attorneys were denied their motion to block the grand jury and a new investigation was launched by the KSBHA to investigate Tiller and his California abortionist Shelley Sella in the Armesto abortion.

What will God do next?

Please consider taking a prayer shift at Tiller's Wichita abortion mill, or the abortion clinic closest to you, between now and November 4, and be a part of this historic prayer effort to stop abortion in Kansas.  To learn more, please visit our website at  www.operationrescue.org.

TILLER CHARGED WITH 19 CRIMINAL COUNTS

Wichita, KS – Attorney General Paul Morrison has announced that he is filing 19 misdemeanor charges against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller because he used a second physician that was not financially or legally unassociated with him, as required by law.

Tiller is scheduled for arraignment on August 7 at 10:30 AM in the Sedgwick County District Court in Wichita.

Operation Rescue has been reporting since August, 2006, that they suspected that Tiller’s association with Dr. Ann Kristen Neuhaus was an illegal one. Neuhaus was listed as a witness when Former Attorney General Phill Kline filed 30 criminal charges against Tiller last December. Those charges were dismissed on shaky jurisdictional grounds.

In his announcement, Morrison trivialized the murder of late-term children by calling the charges a “technical violations.”

“While we are happy that charges are being filed against Tiller, we are guarded about this because we believe that these charges are the weakest against Tiller. There is now a pattern of illegal activity by abortionist Tiller and Kline’s investigation is proven to have merit,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

“Now, because we have charges on the 2003 records, we insist that Morrison subpoena the 2004 and 2005 abortion records. Furthermore, in order for justice to be done, the criminal late-term abortion charges against Tiller, as supported by Psychiatrist Dr. Paul McHugh must be reinstated,” said Newman.

Kline filed 15 charges alleging illegal late-term abortion were committed by Tiller for reasons such as so a woman could go to a rock concert.

“We believe the filing of charges against Tiller vindicates Kline’s investigation of Tiller,” said Newman. “There is a pattern of abuses and illegal activity that is going on at Tiller’s mill. This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Justice Aborted...

A confidential source inside the grand jury that investigated Christin's death has come forward and shared stunning details of the investigation and why Tiller narrowly escaped indictment on four counts by only one vote!

Operation Rescue has published a FOUR PART REPORT that is must reading for anyone following Christin's tragedy and the efforts to obtain justice for her and her baby.

“Part One: What Really Happened To Christin Gilbert?” deals with the irregular events surrounding the third trimester abortion and death of a young Down syndrome teen last year, from the perspective of the grand jury.

“Part Two: Inside the Grand Jury” covers the grand jury process and their frustrations with being prevented from accessing important information from records and witnesses, and how that lack of information narrowly prevented them from issuing indictments.

“Part Three: The Cover-up” explores the four areas of obstruction that the grand jury faced and how a “fraternity” of officials have protected Tiller.

"Part Four: Unanswered Questions and What Must Be Done" focuses on unanswered questions about the grand jury’s inability to gain access to information and witnesses, and what must now be done to bring justice for Christin Gilbert and her baby.

Christin Alysabeth Gilbert Died From a Third-Trimester Abortion

On January 13, 2005, a healthy 19-year old disabled girl named Christin Alysabeth Gilbert died at a hospital in Wichita, Kansas, from complications to a third trimester abortion procured at Women’s Health Care Services, and abortion mill owned by the notorious George R. Tiller.

Fortunately, Christin’s tragedy is perhaps the best-documented abortion-related death in the history of Roe v. Wade.

Kansas Laws Violated?

There exists probable cause for an investigation into Christin’s death. Information uncovered in numerous documents has been carefully reviewed by attorneys and physicians who have indicated that laws of the State of Kansas may have been violated.

  • KSA 21-3404 (a) (c):   Involuntary manslaughter

    Involuntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of a human being committed:

    (a)      Recklessly;

    (b)      During the commission of a lawful act in an unlawful manner.

     

  • KSA 21-3437 (a) (3):  Mistreatment of a dependent adult

    Mistreatment of a dependent adult is knowingly and intentionally committing one or more of the following acts:

    (3)      omitting or depriving treatment, goods or services by a caretaker or another person which are necessary to maintain physical or mental health of a dependent adult.

  • KSA 21-3402 (b)Murder in the second degree. Murder in the second degree is the killing of a human being committed:

    (b) killing of a human being unintentionally but recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.

     

  • KSA 38-1522:  Reporting of certain abuse or neglect of children; persons reporting; reports, made to whom; penalties for failure to report or interference with making of a report. 

    Those providing the abortion did not take proper steps to report to the local authorities that a Down Syndrome female was pregnant due to a criminal assault.

  • KSA 65-6703:  Abortion prohibited when fetus viable, exceptions; determination of age of fetus; determination of viability; reports; retention of medical records; viable, defined; criminal penalties. Christin was in her 28th week of pregnancy, having just entered the third trimester, when subjected to the abortion.

 

  • Additional laws may have been violated

No charges have ever been filed against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller in the death of Christin A. Gilbert.  A complaint against Tiller was filed with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, the agency responsible for discipline in the medical profession. However, in spite of thousands of calls and e-mails from concerned citizens demanding disciplinary action against Tiller for Christin's death, that board determined on November 23, 2005, that there was no violation of the healing arts act and have closed the case against Tiller.  In fact, the lack of interest in Christin’s death by the authorities and the media indicates that there may be a cover-up in progress.

If there is to be justice for Christin, it will have to be brought with the help of the people of Sedgwick County, Kansas. 

Here’s how…

The State of Kansas provides that the citizens may call for the convening of a Grand Jury though a petition process (KSA 22-3001).  It takes only 2,850 signatures of Sedgwick County registered voters to force a Grand Jury investigation.  Once the Grand Jury convenes, they have the power to fully investigate Christin’s death and any other possible criminal activity at Women’s Health Care Services.

 

Your help is needed to gather signatures calling for a Grand Jury to investigate Christin’s death.  As long as those responsible for Christin’s needless death are allowed to escape justice, women remain at risk of suffering a similar fate.  

 

·   If you are a registered voter in Sedgwick County, Kansas, please sign a petition calling for a Grand Jury investigation today!

UPDATE:  Over 7,700 signatures gathered!  Grand Jury ordered to convene May 22, 2006

 

We were successful in gathering more than the required signatures to convene the Grand Jury to investigate abortionist George R. Tiller in the death of Christin Gilbert.  

 

The Grand Jury investigation is currently underway.  Judge Richard Ballinger is overseeing the investigation, which began on May 22, 2006.Please pray that justice will be done!
