		<description>How cute Songbird, they want to hear tales of abortion so they can exploit these women for their own personal gain.  They&#039;ll parade anyone they can in front of a jury, not for the woman&#039;s sake, but so Troy Newman can beg for some more money.

I remember they tried this a couple years ago with one woman who told absolute insane stories.  The lies were uncovered and she faded into obscurity but she was paid by OR at the time to tell her lies.  I wouldn&#039;t be surprised that they&#039;d be willing to try it again.</description>

		<description>I have no difficulties with OR - or any other religious organization - when their stated aims are the following:  1) fellowship; 2) healing and reconciliation; 3) professing their faith toward those who are receptive.

They are currently seeking to speak with those who have had late-term abortions.  I distinctly remember what I believed, even as a teenager - all those years ago, moments before having my first trimmester abortion.

As such, I&#039;d be downright hypocritical if I disdained the pain of women - be they post-abortive, non-abortive, or neutral on this issue.  

Finally, it is an unavoidable facet of life that some people are more skilled at religious fellowship than others.  And some, (i.e., Randall Terry et. al.) are particularly maladroit.  

I don&#039;t think OR would wish to speak with me.  I did not have a late-term procedure; I am not interesting in castigating my own abortionist; I am not interested in criticizing or judging other women; at this stage of my life, I&#039;m certainly casting a critical eye on my own idiocy of the past.  I can&#039;t be sure, but I don&#039;t think a born-again Christian would wish to hear about such things.  It wouldn&#039;t be couth.

But healing and alleviation are timeless virtues.  I can&#039;t discriminate here.  I won&#039;t discriminate here.  It hurts my heart very much to see women in pain; it elicits my respect to hear of post-abortive individuals achieving healing and happiness.</description>

		<description>Perhaps if the Wichita Eagle would do some investigative reporting on the status of late-term abortion, concealment of child-rape and statutory rape as it pertains to Kansas laws, citizens would not need to call for grand juries.  
 
I suspect that many who write here, would rather NOT KNOW if the law is followed.  They just want fewer little rugrats to support on taxpayer money.  Taxes are a separate issue which also need addressing.</description>

		<description>*/Phil Kline manipulates the Grand Jury usage and we praise their advice? He will know be allowed to force evidence instead of alligations against hisself. Edmon Hall is being held on alligations with no evidence. Kline was checking the level of security the Tiller files held do to the men involved in the abortions. The men who raped underage girls. The men who dont want charged with statitory rape. It is double jeopardy too reopen the case or the files. Tax payers funded Phil Kline so he could bury files.He is part owner of GlaxoSmithKline. The maker of birth control pills and the morning after pill. It is formulated for smaller younger girls do to the States keep dropping the age of emmancipation. They say, &quot;young girls are having anyways&quot;. They are having sex with grown men who want too call staitory rape legal by lowering the age. Thus a lighter formula of birth control is needed. The stronger dose was harmful too young girls. He allready knew what was in the abortion files. He used them for research. Congresswoman Boyda is a Pharm Chemist for GSK. As a Federal Employee she secured State Employee benefits with Federal funds. She bribed them with Federal funds. We got set up. No one elected Kline, he was appointed for Personal Agenda Reasons.Do a Call Back Petition and remove Governor Sebelius. I would like too be Governor. I dont have to retain anything she did. I can remove Kline as well as remove other corrupt Government Employees. Herbert West III, west.herb@yahoo.com wen2k.com</description>

		<description>The grand jury worked as intended.  It investigated, in this case found no criminal wrong-doing, and filed no charges.

That being the case it is sad to actually read the words of the jurors.  They &#039;feel&#039; things should be done differently?  Maybe there should be a test to be on a grand jury.  Question #1: Do you think or feel your way through life?</description>

		<description>Good post, &quot;Jed&quot; --

I think back to the Al Capone income tax-evasion case as, perhaps, the watershed of government targeting an individual and desparately looking for a crime somewhere.

Of course Capone committed his share of crimes.  And finally nabbing him on a technicality probably served justice.  But damn.  

Anyone could become a target of the government&#039;s unlimited resources and could be accused of just about anything under the Grand Jury system.  It really is true, that thing about &quot;...indict a ham sandwich,&quot; given the leeway prosecutors are given in a grand jury.  When there&#039;s *no* indictment; that&#039;s *news!*

That&#039;s evidence as to just how lame Phill (the second L is for &quot;litigator&quot;) Kline&#039;s case against Planned Parenthood really was.  

And consider what jury pay is these days.  This particular Grand Jury convened in December.  Fifteen people were taken from their jobs and careers and paid what?  $10 a day?  All the way through March and for what?!  Nothing.  Phill (the second L is for &quot;lame&quot;) Kline had *nothing!*

As a resident of a sparsely-populated county in Kansas, I could gin up Grand Jury hearings against, say, &quot;Nathan,&quot; with a few dozen signatures.  It wouldn&#039;t be justice.  I (most likely) wouldn&#039;t be justified.  But it would be legal under current law.</description>

		<description>The Grand Jury was formed as a system of checks and balances to prevent prosecutors from charging an accused for a crime in which there was no evidence. What happened here was a complete perversion of the process where the grand jury was charged with investigating a person rather than a crime in hopes of either finding something chargeable or forcing him into bankruptcy to defend himself. There was never valid evidence a specific crime was committed, only hysterical rumors started by an organization whose stated reason for existence was to put the accused out of business any way they could, legal or not. They claim they have God on their side, but since God has failed to act on their behalf in the 15 or so years they&#039;ve been pleading for that lightning bolt, and since bombs bullets and vandalism have all failed, they are now attempting to subvert our system of justice into doing what God refused to do even when He had a perfect opportunity during the tornado of 1991 that devastated the auto dealership next door then skipped over the clinic to smash a house on the other side. Obviously it was more important for God to rid the world of rice-burners than abortion.
People who are dead sure they know what God wants them to do are very dangerous. They are lying to themselves and/or their followers, or are psychotic, sociopath pied pipers leading manipulable followers down a path to the koolaid!</description>

		<description>I think the anti&#039;s have not done their organization any good with these repeated grand jury schemes. Guess if they convene enough of them eventually they&#039;ll get a jury they want and refer for prosecution,or alternatively do some financial damage to their target.</description>

		<description>If you investigate someone, anyone, long enough, you will find evidence of SOME crime, even if the Grand Jury it&#039;s self manufactures the crime.

Witness the Kenneth Starr witch hunt against Bill Clinton.

They started with Whitewater - found nothing there - and continued until they tripped him up with the Paula Jones - Monica Lewinsky fiasco.

Imagine if a Grand Jury/Special Prosecutor investigated George W Bush with an unlimited budget and unlimited resources.

Eh?</description>

		<description>I think 48 other states live without this grand jury by petition scheme that is now being misused by extremists. I think Kansas could live without it too. I like the concept of the law, but with the current round of abuses... fergetabboudit.</description>

		<description>I would think citizen requested Grand Juries still have a function.

Can&#039;t think of a better way, especially in small communities to break up a GOBN. :)</description>

		<description>Gee, I don&#039;t know. There are so many things a grand jury could investigate:

Churches circulating petitions to influence legislation and use grand jurys to harass nonbelievers.

Payments by lobbyists to buy legislation allowing certain coal companies to sell power to Colorado and leave the pollution in Kansas.

Conflict of interest by legislatures regarding legislators opposing casinos because it would take business from their own bingo parlors, or because they were being paid by existing casinos to oppose any competition.

Business interests who contribute to local campaigns in exchange for contracts to build unneeded and poorly located arenas at taxpayer expense.

I&#039;m sure we could find even more if we had a grand jury investigate everything, so it can determine what needs to be investigated! Sign Here!</description>

		<description>Ok, they could make a recommendation, and a judge could award, afer a review. Something needs to be done to prevent grand juries from becoming an instrument of intimidation and harrassment.</description>

		<description>Come on Doug you&#039;re down there in Sedgewick co...get a grand jury petition against OR.

Rhonda, why don&#039;t you call Lance Kinzer and ask him if he&#039;ll support changing the law on calling forth a grand jury.

Rest assured, since ole Zigfried SAID they must contact opposition to such a law proposal, everyone should get contacted..

Why not investigate why Zigfried is saying that ops need to be contacted before a hearing in Congress, but then fails to do it when it&#039;s the side he opposes.</description>

		<description>Phantom, I understand your thought. I don&#039;t think it flies, given the various restrictions that traditionally are placed on Grand Jury proceedings. If this were to be adopted, eventually the result would be don&#039;t have trials before petit juries; just have the Grand Jury be the accuser, judge and jury and be done with it.</description>

		<description>The grand jury could be empowered to award damages, cost of taxpayer dollars, cost of attorney&#039;s for investigatons that they thought were completely without merit.</description>

		<description>Uh, Capn, I guess go for it, if you can find a state law which you could allege he violated and get enough signatures. BTW, in which county would venue lie? :-)</description>
