In Kansas, the political landscape continues to get more bizarre.  To bring you up to date, a few years back Attorney General, Phill Kline, announced an investigation into whether abortion clinics are in violation of the state’s child sexual abuse reporting laws and the state’s regulations involving late-term abortion.  In response, Kansas filled up with high-dollar legal talent from out-of-state pro-abortion groups and they brought with them the knowledge that whatever money is needed, is available.  Despite that, however, as the legal machinations ebbed to and fro, it was clear that things could go badly for them.                 

When Kline indicted notorious late-term abortionist, George “The Killer” Tiller, on 30 criminal charges, the district attorney in Sedgewick County, Nola Foulston, was able to pull a legal maneuver to get the charges dismissed.  As an outspoken proponent of legalized abortion and a personal friend of Tiller’s, Foulston was simply doing what any other corrupt political puppet of the abortion lobby would be expected to do.  But everyone knew that this “fix” was only temporary.  The charges could be refiled at any time and in a way that would be insulated from Foulston.  This meant that Tiller, not to mention his competitors at Planned Parenthood, were still in trouble.     

Cue Paul Morrison, the district attorney in Johnson County.  Bankrolled with hundreds-of-thousands of dollars from his good friend, George Tiller, Morrison ran against and defeated Klein for re-election.  Then, to no one’s surprise, he immediately fired the special prosecutor Kline had appointed to pursue the investigation of Tiller and Planned Parenthood. 

The message was clear: when the Kansas abortion mafia buys a politician, they expect results.  And the Foulston/Morrison gang did not disappoint.  But unfortunately for them, the matter did not end there.  Currently, a citizen-led grand jury has been seated to investigate the charges and that panel operates outside the influences of people like Nola  Foulston and Paul Morrison.  

Meanwhile, the story takes a new twist.  It seems that Morrison has been, shall we say, fishing off the company pier.  He has now been charged with sexual harassment stemming from an extramarital affair he admitted he had with one of his employees in the Johnson County district attorney’s office.  Linda Carter, the office’s director of administration, revealed extensive details about their two-year relationship that, as might be expected, are juicy enough to fire-up a Jerry Springer audience.  She also says that the affair continued after Morrison was elected Attorney General and that he pressured her to use her position in the D.A.’s office to influence pending litigation involving Phill Kline.  She refused.  Apparently, despite whatever personal warts she may have, Linda Carter is no Nola Foulston.

Like most Americans, I have some profound reservations about the broad definitions of sexual harassment used in our society today.  Many of them have been so preposterous that they cause people to see the entire issue of sexual harassment as nonsensical.  The effect of that has been to diminish the validity of claims made by people who truly are victims. 

Having said that, it appears that Ms. Carter may have initially resisted Morrison’s advances and only succumbed after repeated pressure.  If it turns out that she finally gave in simply because she thought a little roll in the hay might be fun, she has no claim to victim status.  However, if she gave in because she had a legitimate reason to believe that not doing so would affect her employment, then the relationship was less an affair than it was a capitulation.  Time will tell if that was the situation but, if it was, then Morrison is in over his head.  

It is also coming out that Morrison has a history of this sort of thing.  That, coupled with Carter’s claim that Morrison leaned on her to influence litigation involving Kline, raises two interesting issues.

First, this case puts those leftist groups who inevitably take the side of any woman who raises sexual harassment claims between a rock and a hard place.  Although this story has exploded across Kansas, these groups have remained uncharacteristically silent.  They have apparently figured out that it would be dicey for them to assert that Ms. Carter is telling the truth about the sexual harassment but lying when she says that her pro-choice harasser committed a crime to protect the abortion industry.  So their response has been to just punt and let Ms. Carter take her chances under the bus.   

Second, I have always speculated that the abortion industry keeps files on its high-profile customers–especially politicians–that could be used to “keep them in line” in the future.  If a customer is a publicly known woman, or says she is pregnant by a publicly known man, or is the daughter/wife/granddaughter of a public family, etcetera, evidence of an abortion would be good leverage to keep on hand.  Bill Clinton could be a perfect example of what I am talking about.  During his presidency, even his admirers complained that he was not always loyal to the people and special interest groups who helped put him in office.  The sole exception to this is the abortion lobby.  For eight years, this was the only constituency he never once double-crossed. 

Consider that fact within the context of Clinton’s history.  Gennifer Flowers always maintained that, in 1977, Clinton gave her $200 to have an abortion.  Clinton denied that the abortion occurred and, in fact, denied that he even had an affair with Flowers.  When that turned out to be a lie, it is certainly no stretch to then conclude that his denial of the abortion was also untrue.  Given what we now know about this guy, it is also no stretch to speculate that Flowers’ abortion was not the only one.  To the contrary, the smart money would be that his political career was salvaged more than once when one of his babies was snuffed-out at some abortion clinic. 

It is also perfectly reasonable to assume that (a) the files associated with whatever abortions Clinton may have been responsible for are sitting in the desk of a Washington, DC, abortion-industry lobbyist and (b) Slick Willy understood that any betrayal of their agenda by him could result in these files ending up on some reporter’s desk.

This same phenomenon may explain the abysmal level of corruption we’ve seen when it comes to George Tiller, Planned Parenthood and anyone else involved with the Kansas abortion lobby.  Simply put, their influence is far more broad and deep than could be reasonably expected in a middle-America state.  I guess you could say that when it comes to Kansas politicians, the abortion cartel knows where the skeletons are buried.  After all, they helped to bury them. 

Pro-life people are continually frustrated over the protections and kid-glove treatment given to the abortion industry.  We routinely see politicians, law enforcement officials, medical boards and others in official capacities blatantly ignoring the abortion industry's flaunting of state laws and regulations. 

Sometimes, these people go beyond simply looking the other way and openly run interference for the abortion mafia.  In effect, they become a member of the abortion mafia.   A textbook example of this has been seen recently in Kansas regarding notorious late-term baby killer George Tiller.  (If you are unfamiliar with the details of this scandal, go to the archives section of this Blog under December 2006)

In a nutshell, it is undeniable that corrupt public officials, Sedgewick County District Attorney Nola Foulston, State Attorney General Paul Morrison, and State Judge Paul W. Clark are shielding Tiller from criminal prosecution. 

The evidence against Tiller is overwhelming, but with the support of a filthy alliance between Foulston and Clark, the first week he was in office Morrison dropped 30 criminal charges against Tiller that had been filed by outgoing Attorney General Phill Kline.  Public records show that Morrison received over $250,000 in contributions from Tiller during his recent election campaign but, to no one's surprise, the leftstream media is not making a big deal out of it.  I guess that those of us in the great unwashed masses are supposed to believe that this is just a coincidence.

All across America this sort of thing is repeated on an almost daily basis.  The fact is, the abortion industry routinely skates for doing things that would put anyone else in prison.  The question is: why?  How do they get away with it?

During our years of undercover work in the abortion industry, we have gained some insight into the way our enemies think and operate.  One observation we’ve made is that they figured out a long time ago that no one – be they an abortion industry employee or customer – wants to be identified with abortion. 

In short, the abortion industry knows that the filthy nature of their business can be used as a weapon to protect themselves.  Moreover, it fits perfectly within their nature to do just that.   

At Life Dynamics, we see this played out in our litigation support program.  We have worked with many clients over the years who have been severely injured during abortions or raped by the abortionist but would not bring lawsuits because they don’t want it to be publicly revealed that they had an abortion.  Once, we even had the parents of a girl who was killed during an abortion refuse to sue for that very reason.

Of course, the abortion industry knows this and anytime an abortion-injured woman asks the court to allow her to sue anonymously, their attorney will viciously fight it because they know if the court rules against her she may drop the suit.

Now apply this scorched earth philosophy to the following scenarios:

• an abortion clinic customer tells the clinic counselor that the baby’s father is a prominent public figure or a potential “rising star” in the future, or 

• the customer herself is a known public figure or someone the clinic thinks may be a “rising star” in the future, or

• the customer, or the father of the baby, is a member of a prominent political family; law enforcement agency, medical licensing board, etc.

The number of possible scenarios is unlimited but the point is that, given the nature of the abortion industry, it is not farfetched that copies of these medical records would end up at the National Abortion Federation or in the internal files of Planned Parenthood's political operatives.

Think about this.  Even his most ardent supporters admit that, during his eight years as president, Bill Clinton betrayed every constituency group that put him in office.  The lone exception was the abortion industry.  He literally gave them everything they wanted.  He even allowed the Department of Justice to be turned into their private police force.  

With Clinton's history, is there any doubt that during his rise to the top a few pregnancies occurred?  Put another way, is it unlikely that more than a few babies had to die in order to salvage his political career?  And if you are an abortion clinic worker with a client who says that the father of her baby is the up and coming governor of Arkansas, is it beyond the realm of possibility that her chart ends up in a political file somewhere? 

If that is so, and you would have to be hopelessly naive not to think it is, the fact that Clinton demonstrated only one area of loyalty is suddenly not so difficult to understand.  He was simply smart enough to know better than to betray the people who helped him bury his skeletons.     

The point is, if you need the kind of information that could be used to control the police, politicians or state regulators, where is it more likely to be found than at the friendly neighborhood abortion clinic?  And you can bet the family farm that if they have it, their buddies in the political arena also have it. 

If nothing else, they at least know where to dig.
