Phill Kline, as Attorney General of the State of Kansas, filed charges against Dr. George Tiller (Tiller the Baby Killer) and Planned Parenthood because he had evidence that both had performed abortions on girls 14 and younger (at least one was 11) without reporting the statutory rape. During discovery, prosecutors had proof that Tiller and PP had falsified patient records to cover their crimes. Kathleen Sebelius (now HHS Secretary), as governor of Kansas, politically protected Tiller in exchange for very, very large political donations. The charges are still pending against PP and it is desperate to discredit Phill Kline in order to save itself. On February 21, the Kansas Board of Discipline of Attorneys is holding a hearing to try to strip Phill of his license. This hearing will start February 21 at the Kansas Board of Discipline of Attorneys, 701 SW Jackson Street, Topeka, Kansas. It is
open to the public.
Below is an email from Deborah Kline, Phill's wife, explaining many more details of the case. It is a fairly long read, but explains many details of this case.

Dear Friends “For Life”:
Thank you … a deep and heart felt thank you for your willingness to stand for the truth while extending Truth’s grace. It has become a privilege to be humbled to the message and mission for the Sanctity of Life a long side your numerous efforts.
This email is the first report as promised, of the Criminal Charges Filed against Planned Parenthood in Kansas. A series of shorter reports will follow and provide you summaries of various portions of this story.
I know that your time is valuable and you’re extraordinarily busy and I appreciate your interest in the fight in Kansas. Please take the five minutes to read this email as it will give you an overview of what is happening. Please share it with others.
Future reports will be much shorter with bullet points and with links to supporting documents.
Also, a new website is being prepared with original documents (which are currently public) and will demonstrate the corruptions of Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry. The critical message throughout this story is the direct impact of this case upon the rule of law throughout our nation.
Background /Description of the Issues At Stake
As you know, the abortion industry lives a lie. The Kansas abortion story teaches us that where there is no recognition of truth – there can be no recognition of law.
The Kansas abortion story is about the destruction of human life AND the destruction of the rule of law. As such, this story is inextricably linked to the future of our nation and our movement. Without the recognition of truth as expressed in law, there can be no “self-evident” rights endowed by our Creator. Without the rule of law we have no constitutional rights or freedoms.
This is what has happened to my husband Phill. He confronted the lie with the law and now the lie seeks to destroy Phill with more lies. Today, Phill remains the only prosecutor in our nation’s history to obtain records from Planned Parenthood by judicial subpoena and then successfully file criminal charges against this $1 billion corporation. Three separate judges found probable cause on four separate occasions that the evidence supported 107 criminal acts by Planned Parenthood, including 23 felonies.
These criminal charges directly threaten hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue to Planned Parenthood. If convicted, Planned Parenthood stands to lose more than $325 million in annual federal (taxpayer) funding.
Planned Parenthood recognized this threat early on. In 2006, Planned Parenthood issued a news release identifying 15 persons they called “Domestic Terrorists.” Phill was on the list. He was in good company with Chief Justice John Roberts, Dr. James Dobson, Father Frank Pavone and others. Most telling, however, was that Phill was the only elected official so targeted. There was not a single Governor, U.S. Senator, or Congressman on the list – only Phill. This industry recognized early on the threat a prosecutor represented to their bottom line.
Although the prolife community is to be commended for passing legislation to protect life, it has not focused on enforcing those laws. Think about it, every law passed by a legislature and signed into law by a governor to protect innocent human life is useless, unless it is enforced, either by our behavior or within a courtroom by a prosecutor. Well Phill was that prosecutor. So, for fulfilling his duty to enforce the law, Phill has been sued on multiple occasions by both Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller.
The Kansas abortion industry, chiefly Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller, have been protected by a Kathleen Sebelius appointed Kansas Supreme Court. Planned Parenthood and Dr. George Tiller were two of largest campaign contributors to then-Governor Sebelius and her trickle down money to pro-abortion Kansas politicians. [Note: Kansas is nationally recognized as having the most closed system of selecting justices in the nation – the Governor appoints them for life without legislative confirmation.] Then-Governor Sebelius, now HHS Secretary Sebelius, appointed five of the seven Kansas Justices, including Justice Carole Beier, a former lawyer with the National Women’s Law Center.
Here are just two brief examples of how this Sebelius Supreme Court has subverted the rule of law in the criminal case against Planned Parenthood:
1. In one of many closed hearings held by the Court to derail Phill’s prosecution, a key witness (a judge) testified that he had authorized a subpoena for Planned Parenthood abortion records and had determined, with the aid of a forensic expert, that the records were fraudulent. The Court’s response? It forbade the witness to testify further regarding his findings in any further proceedings against Planned Parenthood. The Court’s order was so contrary to law that Fox News Legal Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano stated that the Kansas Supreme Court Justices should be “impeached”!
2. On another occasion, the Court ordered a secret trial during which the criminal defendant, Planned Parenthood, put Phill and his staff attorneys under oath and cross-examined them. This trial took more than one week and the Court buried the official report of the trial for six months. To make matters worse, the official letter clearing Phill was buried for two years and was only discovered when going through 30,000 documents in preparation for the current disciplinary hearing.
Current Status of the Original Case against Planned Parenthood and their Goals in this Hearing
Remarkably, Phill’s case against Planned Parenthood is still filed with the Johnson County District Court and a waiting trial. Even a hostile Sebelius Supreme Court cannot figure out how to kill the case – and so they must kill Phill. The abortion industry, in Kansas and nationally, wants to send the message to any prosecutor seeking to enforce the abortion laws – do so at your peril.
The Sebelius Supreme Court has ordered its Disciplinary Administrator for Attorneys to seek to remove Phill’s law license. In doing so they are attempting to shift scrutiny from the criminal charges against Planned Parenthood and instead are attacking the prosecutor who filed those charges. In short, the Sebelius Supreme Court is seeking to kill the “message” by killing the “messenger”. Bottom line: If the Sebelius Supreme Court can claim prosecutorial misconduct in bringing the criminal charges, then it will bury the case without further scrutiny.
On February 21, Phill will begin a trial brought by the Kansas Disciplinary Administrator to remove Phill’s law license. “The Kansas Disciplinary Administrator's Office is a state agency in the judicial branch working under the direction of the Kansas Supreme Court.”
The following are a few of the allegations against Phill:
1. Phill’s “personal prolife beliefs” represent an unethical “conflict of interest” in his investigation and prosecution of the clinics – an investigation and prosecution that has resulted in three independent judges on four separate occasions finding probable cause to believe that the abortion clinics committed 137 criminal acts, including 23 felonies.
This allegation against Phill is a direct assault on our core personal beliefs and the First Amendment itself. In making this allegation, the Disciplinary Administrator holds abortion clinics above the law. This effort must be condemned, not just in Kansas but also nationally. If we don’t stand together now we may not have a place to stand in the future.
The allegation also is patently absurd. I know Phill is anti-rape and anti-murder, but he certainly has prosecuted his share of rapists and murderers.
2. The Court claims it was unethical for Phill not to order his investigators to fully brief the Sebelius Administration regarding the complete nature and scope of his investigation at its earliest stages.
Neither Phill nor any law enforcement official has a duty to brief potential witnesses about an investigation. Doing so could jeopardize the investigation itself. And that is what then-Governor Sebelius was – a witness. It was her agency, Social and Rehabilitation Services That was charged with the legal responsibility to receive and maintain reports of child rape from the abortion clinics. In fact, as soon as Sebelius and her legal staff learned of the investigation, they began initiating roadblocks to the investigation. Bottom line: Phill did not have any duty to tell Sebelius and the law does not place any such duty on him.
3. The Disciplinary Administrator claims Phill could not investigate failure to report child rape unless a child actually came forward to complain that their rape was not reported. This defeats the very purpose of mandatory child rape reporting laws.
Phill knows through investigating and /or prosecuting hundreds of child sexual abuse cases that children do not report their own rapes and certainly do not report that someone else failed to report their rapes.
Public information in Kansas revealed that about 75 children 14 years of age and younger have abortions each year in Kansas. So, who in law enforcement is looking out for our children, especially if the reports required by our laws, to protect our children, are never seen or assessed?
Kansas Supreme Court Interference:
Remarkably, when the Disciplinary Administrators investigation against Phill first began, the Sebelius Supreme Court actually hired two independent attorneys as investigators. These investigators issued their report in June of 2008 and it was buried. This investigation report was only discovered amongst 30,000 pages of documents generated in investigating Phill. Note: That report concludes Phill did nothing wrong – yet, the Court and its Disciplinary Administrator are moving forward to remove his law license anyway.
Phill has incurred extraordinary personal legal expense. As a result, he has been forced to seek assistance in paying more than $200,000… just to keep the criminal case alive, as well as, defending the ethics charges which are now in their fifth year.
The following helps illustrate the depth of corruption in Kansas:
• Phill’s investigation of the abortion clinics amounted to one subpoena to each clinic and one witness deposition, due to roadblocks put up by the Sebelius Supreme Court.
• Meanwhile, the Sebelius Supreme Court and Planned Parenthood have investigated Phill. Placed Phill and his administration through a secret trial ordered by the Court at the behest of Planned Parenthood, dozens of depositions, 30,000 pages of investigative documents and scores of witness interviews and being himself investigated for over five years. All as a result of seeking to enforce the very laws passed by the state that is now seeking to take away his license to practice law.
Your Involvement Is Needed: Your willingness to learn about this case and to witness the corrupting influence of Planned Parenthood on our courts and the rule of law is crucial. Planned Parenthood and the Kansas Supreme Court are trying to set a precedent that does not allow prosecutors to be prolife.
The official 107 criminal counts against Planned Parenthood are still awaiting trial in the Johnson County District Court. Despite all these efforts and lawsuit to destroy Phill’s case, the case still exists. That is because Phill has won on the law every time throughout this case.
Since Planned Parenthood can’t beat Phill on the law, they must destroy Phill and discredit him personally (and professionally) so people will not listen and believe.
Phill is now forced to defend himself before a subjective panel appointed by the Sebelius Supreme Court addressed by a Disciplinary Administrator appointed by the Sebelius Supreme Court and, ultimately, the Sebelius Supreme Court will review the decision and decide any punishment!
IF ALLOWED TO CONDUCT THESE PROCEEDINGS, WITHOUT A NATIONAL VOICE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, THE COURT WILL SUBJECTIVELY FIND FAULT IN A NON-LEGAL ISSUE AND MAKE IT A LEGAL PRECEDENT.
WITHOUT A NATIONAL VOICE THE ONLY VOICE HEARD WILL BE THE SAME KANSAS MEDIA that won a national “Maggie Award” from Planned Parenthood for how they treated Phill in this investigation. The Kansas City Star ran an editorial cartoon portraying my husband as a child molester with his hands up a little girl’s skirt, because he was “invading privacy.”
The serious nature of this problem in not limited to Kansas alone. The forces aligned against us will not simply stop after removing one prosecutor’s law license as punishment for trying to hold Planned Parenthood accountable to the law.
Be assured, they will use Phill’s case as an example to keep themselves above the law. This case affects us all.
We have the proof… but we need your voice.
This is the first in a series of summaries you will receive to help you understand this case. Please keep these accessible for future reference. I also ask that you share this far and wide.
Soon, we will have an additional website which will have copies of original documents attached for you to see what is taking place. These documents are now matters of public record and prove the corruption that has protected Planned Parenthood. As we send you updates, we ask that you send out notices to your Email list and include information about this case in your newsletters.
We desperately need your prayer support, your time to know this case, your voice to the loss of the rule of law in Kansas. If Planned Parenthood successfully wins this case, they have defeated the rule of law.Phill Kline needs our prayers and support!
