FOLLOW-UP TO JUNE 21 STORY: Tiller Associate Cut Immunity Deal in Illegal Abortion Case
Reason to believe that Tiller and Neuhaus committed hundreds of violations of the law

by ChristiansUnite.com Staff

WICHITA, Kansas -- Ann Kristen Neuhaus struck a deal for limited immunity with former Attorney General Phill Kline in exchange for her cooperation in his investigation against the notorious abortionist George R. Tiller. The current State Attorney General, Paul Morrison, is honoring the agreement in a case filed Thursday charging Tiller with 19 criminal counts based on abortion records obtained by Kline from a three-month period in 2003.
In exchange for immunity, Neuhaus gave statements under oath that spoke of her involvement in Tiller's late-term abortion practice. According to Kansas law, two doctors who are financially and legally unaffiliated, must agree that a pregnant woman faces "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" before an abortion after 21 weeks can be done. Neuhaus provided that second opinion for Tiller's late-term abortions.
Operation Rescue first reported the Tiller/Neuhaus arrangement last August after being informed of it by a confidential source that participated in the grand jury investigation against Tiller in the 2005 death of late-term abortion patient Christin Gilbert. Neuhaus has had no medical office of her own since 2002, when she closed her Lawrence abortion mill under financial pressure created by allegations that she had proceeded with an abortion on a woman who had withdrawn her consent. The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts declared in an emergency order that Neuhaus was a "danger to the public, an immediate threat, not limited to the likelihood of patient injury."
"According to the grand jury source and our own investigations, the only way Neuhaus has access to patients is at Tiller's invitation," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "She travels to Wichita in one of Tiller's old cars, she uses his office facilities, and she sees his patients. She signs a form and is paid via personal check from each patient. If Neuhaus doesn't sign the form - and there is reason to believe that she did sign in every case - then Tiller cannot do the abortion. If Tiller does not invite Neuhaus to his office, she has no means of getting paid."
"Tiller and Neuhaus had a symbiotic relationship in which neither of them could benefit financially without the other," said Newman. "If this relationship was illegal in 2003, then it was also illegal in '04, '05, '06, and '07. ... The 19 charges brought by Morrison are just the tip of the iceberg," said Newman. "Tiller very likely violated this portion of the law hundreds of times. That does not even count the more serious phony mental health excuses behind the abortions that Morrison has refused to deal with. There is a lot more illegal activity going on at that clinic than is being reported, and we demand that additional records be inspected and additional charges be brought, for the sake of the innocent lives that should have legal protection in Kansas, but don't."

Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation. Operation Rescue recently made headlines when it bought and closed an abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas and has become the voice of the pro-life activist movement in America. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.

TOPIC: Store Video Shows Customers Stepping Over Stabbing Victim

Article from FOXNews.com

WICHITA, Kansas — As stabbing victim LaShanda Calloway lay dying on the floor of a convenience store, five shoppers, including one who stopped to take a picture of her with a cell phone, stepped over the woman, police said. The June 23 situation, captured on the store's surveillance video, got scant news coverage until a columnist for The Wichita Eagle disclosed the existence of the video and its contents Tuesday. The video showed the 27-year-old Calloway struggling to her feet and collapsing three times without anyone helping her. Worse, one woman who stepped over Calloway four times while shopping eventually paused to snap a photo of her with a cell phone.
"It was tragic to watch," police spokesman Gordon Bassham said Tuesday. "The fact that people were more interested in taking a picture with a cell phone and shopping for snacks rather than helping this innocent young woman is, frankly, revolting." It took about two minutes for someone to call 911, he said. "This is one of the most disgusting examples of disregard for life I've ever seen," Bassham said of the video. "It is a very, very tragic video to watch. It was revolting to see this lack of humanity."
Calloway, 27, died later at a hospital. Two people -- Cherish M. McCullough and George R. Brown -- turned themselves in to police and were arrested in connection with the death. The district attorney's office will have to decide whether any of the shoppers could be charged, Bassham said. It was uncertain what law, if any, would be applicable. A state statute for failure to render aid refers only to victims of a car accident.
Eagle columnist Mark McCormick told The Associated Press he learned about the video when he called Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams to inquire about a phone call he had received from a reader complaining about a Police Department policy that requires emergency medical personnel to wait until police secure a crime scene before rendering aid. McCormick said Williams then unloaded on him about the shoppers in the stabbing case. Williams told the newspaper. "I could continue shopping and not render aid and then take time out to take a picture? That's crazy. What happened to our respect for life?"

SopeBocks: This is an example of the LACK of compassion we have for each other in this country. The violence we see no longer bothers us. We don't want to "get involved", so we step over victims and go about our business. As I've said many times before, we will reap what we sow -- and this is a prime example of what has been sewn through TV, movies, video games, music and the violence of the hip-hop culture. If you think I'm wrong, think about this -- even in countries where terrorist bombings are "regular" occurrence, citizens don't step over dying victims to buy a candy bar. They HELP those victims. In those cultures, there are NO Manhunt or GTA video games, Die Hard movies, hip-hop gangstas nor any The Shield style TV shows. If we do not cherish life, it will not have any value.
When is America going to wake up?!? Compassion is a basic tenant of civilized society. IF we lose it (and we're well on the way to that end), anarchy WILL follow.
