Defeat abortion, KS DA Kline urges

[EV_Ares]

His speech at a national convention in KC comes as the Tiller case is again making news.

By DAVID KLEPPER The Kansas City Star



Stymied by the courts and voters, Phill Kline took his crusade against abortion to a friendly audience Thursday, delivering a sizzling indictment before the National Right to Life Convention.

“The soil of Kansas is stained red,” said Kline, formerly the Kansas attorney general and now Johnson County district attorney.

“Abortion is sin, and sin always begins with a lie.”

Before his speech, Kline criticized his successor, Attorney General Paul Morrison, for not taking seriously the investigation Kline began into alleged illegal abortions performed at two Kansas clinics.

The three-day convention, held in Kansas City for the first time since 1984, brings together several hundred members of anti-abortion groups from across the nation.

Walking through the crowd during his hourlong speech, Kline called on the audience to rise up “above the din of a decadent culture” to defeat abortion, which he called “the slaughter of the innocent.” He compared the anti-abortion movement to the cause of abolition and cited Kansas’ history of standing against slavery.

“Kansas has a rich heritage and must rise again,” he said.

NOTE: Before Kline’s speech, the audience heard taped messages from PRESIDENT BUSH and potential GOP presidential contender FRED THOMPSON recited their anti-abortion records and vowed to continue to support the cause.

Bush called abortion “one of the great moral issues of our time.”

1. Who made him Pope?

Asshole...keep your own house in order and let each of us worry about our own. I don't need Phil Kline's of this world to define my moral views for me.

3. And fortunately - he is on his way out.

Which will be a huge relief for everyone around here. He is just such an embarrassment.

2. The only good thing about this is that Kline is so unpopular

In Kansas City and in Johnson County.

The man is an attorney and an idiot and everyone knows it.

4. Has he ever actually tried a case?

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. I don't think so. I did read that he had argued a case before the

supreme court.

I know a lot of people are really worried that he might be handling the case of the girl from Overland Park who was kidnapped and killed. They are afraid he will just completely bungle the whole thing and the psycho that did it might get off.

6. He probably will make sure that case does not come up before he

gets out of there. Also, with that case being connected with two states, kidnapping, it could end up in Federal Court.

7. One can only hope.

Because Kline will botch it. And everyone knows he will botch it.

8. What is the lie?

All sin begins with a lie? What the hell does that mean?

Ok, I'm going to take the Lord's name in vain - who do I lie to first?

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. Well, he would know a lie when he sees it - he has lied about

all kinds of things here. He is totally agenda driven. And an asshole on top of it. A dumb asshole.
