Dr. Tiller, Late Term Abortionist (doctored image)

Originally published January 3rd, 2007 by Richard Okelberry

On March 24, 2006, I wrote an essay entitled “Are Abortion Clinics Destroying Evidence?” In this essay I argued that law enforcement should seize as evidence every aborted fetus from underage patients of abortion clinics. It was obvious to me at the time that the very fact that an underage girl was pregnant was evidence of either Statutory Rape or First Degree Unlawful Sexual Assault of a Minor Child. After penning my essay, I sent copies to both the Nebraska State Attorney General Jon Bruning and Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman.

Both not only refused to respond to my concerns about rapists and child molesters using abortion clinics to cover up their crimes, but both have also failed to take any steps to seize records and evidence associated with such crimes. Fortunately, the Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline is not so timid. He has successfully subpoenaed the records of a notorious abortion doctor in Kansas, Dr. George Tiller. It also appears that he will likely bring charges against this doctor for failing to report suspected rape and molestation of children. Every state in the Union requires that when a doctor finds evidence of a crime, that they report that crime to the authorities. Failure to do so may be just a misdemeanor in most states but usually carries with it a maximum sentence that includes jail time for each offense.

Also, these types of assault generally do not have a statutory limitation. This means that cases going back 20 years could still be prosecuted today. Besides contacting Nebraska’s Attorney General and Governor, I also sent copies to Planned Parenthood, the areas premier abortion provider, as well as several state representatives and a few nationally syndicated radio talk show hosts. While I was certain that Planned Parenthood would not respond, I was surprised that there was little or no interest on the part of some of Nebraska’s more conservative representatives. One of those copied was Mr. Bill O’Reilly from the Fox News Channel and the Bill O’Reilly Show.

While I have no idea whether or not my correspondence had any effect, I can tell you with all certainty that Bill O’Reilly has now picked up the ball and is running for the ”in-zone.” In fact he has launched an all out campaign against the infamous Kansas doctor that he calls, “Tiller the baby killer.” With this sort of national exposure for this issue it will be hard for local law enforcement to ignore the massive cover-up being carried out by abortionists across the country. While I have already seen pro-abortion supporters coming to the defense of these abortion clinics on the issue, they do so at the risk of slipping even further into moral depravity.

Any argument against such prosecution would require that we accept rape and molestation as necessary evil in order to keep abortion easy and accessible. However, as I argued in my first essay, this argument holds no water when we discover that the identities of rape victims are routinely protected and therefore there is no privacy issue to argue. In essence, Roe v. Wade just doesn’t apply here. Of course the die-hard abortionists will also try to throw up the idea that we will be simply prosecuting teens for having consensual sex. Well, I agree with O’Reilly on this point. The law is clear and it is up to prosecutors to decide which laws have been broken and which should be prosecuted, not abortion doctors that are trying to protect their bottom line.

Also, remember, we are not talking about denying any girl her privilege to have an abortion. We only want to ensure that steps are taken to bring rapists and molesters, who might use abortion as a cover for their crimes, to justice. The first step in doing this is preserving the gruesome genetic evidence from these terrible crimes.
