Is the Kansas AG trying to pull a fast one

The attorney general in Kansas, Phil Kline, a Republican, is demanding that two health care clinics (both perform abortions) on about 90 late term abortions. He claims he is just trying to investigate crimes against children (maybe who were raped and had an abortion?), and that he needs those records to do so. The police in Wichita, where both clinics are located, say one of the clinics in question, has given them appropriate information on such cases when an obvious crime has been committed and have not had any problems. That begs the question, "Phil, what are you really trying to do?"

A recent court ruling says the clinics have to give him the information, that ruling has been appealed, should be interesting to see what happens there. If the clinic indeed does have to turn over the info, it could have a chilling effect on those who are raped or the victims of incest that seek to have an abortion. Will they try to go somewhere else for an abortion, or just not report the crime?
