Bias, anyone?
Oh dear. It seems the judge in the case against Dr. George Tiller, who is being tried for violating laws concerning late-term abortions, was once an anti-choice activist.
The judge who will decide the case — Sedgwick County District Judge Anthony Powell — was a leading voice for anti-abortion lawmakers during his eight years as a legislator. Powell was appointed to the case this week.
Charming. By the way, Tiller is being charged not for any medical malfeasance, but because of an accusation that he had an "improper financial relationship with a physician who signed off on the late-term abortions." Hmm. Sounds like a witch-hunt to me.
