Feb 25, 2005: The end of privacy: "The attempt by Phill Kline, the Republican attorney general of Kansas, to obtain the unedited and unredacted medical files of dozens of Kansas women who had late-term abortions falls clearly into the latter category. Those files are filled with the kinds of sensitive information ('like sexual history, birth control practices, drug use, psychological profiles,' and more according to the New York Times) that ought to be inviolate.

Kline plans to scour the personal details of Kansas women searching for unreported crimes he can prosecute. He's trying to cloak his attack on privacy rights under the guise of protecting children. But make no mistake. This isn't about children (doctors are already required to report any suspected abuse to the proper authorities), and it's not about abortion."
