*aii?as r h in debate over abortion

WICHITA (AP) In a nation divid d yabortion,

Kansas has become perhaps the fiercest

battleground with mass protests, pros lawsuits and now a killing keeping the ssu almost

constantly in the public eye.

Dr. George Tiller, shot to death at hi church last Sunday, had been the target of a r protest campaign for most of the 36 year that he

performed abortions at his Wichita clinic He was

a focal point of the abortion conflict, bu it transcended

him, often becoming the state s 4ominant

political topic.

Some Kansans are sick of th rancorou debate; for some, it permeates their lives and aff their

personal relations.

Most of my adult life has been in th middle

of this fight, said Peggy Bowman, $io lives

near Tiller s church and oversees a fund t!iat helps women cover the cost of abortions. I ha people

in my neighborhood who, once they foi4nd out I

was pro-choice, turned their back on me. In part, it s a power struggle co$ervative

Republicans, many of them evangelical qhristian, battling over abortion and other hot-butt social

issues with moderates of their own party nd with the Democrats.

When you get down to the heart of the ,split

among Kansas Republicans, it always co back

to abortion, said University of Ka political

spience professor Burcfett Loomis. It ma pop out

in gun laws, homesch volution but it

starts and stops with abortion.

Unlike many states where either si or foes of abortion hold sway politically Kansas

often seesaws. For example, the ReijublicandOminated

Legislature passed numerou bills to

restrict abortions during the past six ye only

to ee many vetoed by Democratic Gov. (athleeti Sebelius, now President Barack Obam4 s health

and human services secretary.

As a result, to the frustration of some nti-abortion

groups, abortion remains relatively available

in the state despite widespread opposi ion to it

among legislators and the Kansas con ressional

delegation.

Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, said she and her in-state allies d from

many of their counterparts elsewhere it pressing

for rigorous observance of the restrictioi that are in place.

In Kansas, we re working and working to try to seethe enforcement of the law, she s

Tille also played a part in intensifyii the debate.

He became one of the nation s few pr*viders of

late-term abortions and, unlike many of his peers,

embraced a high profile even after he w shot in

both arms by an anti-abortion activist in 1993.

His clinic, heavily fortified after bombing in 1 becarnethe target of both pea and

Mercy organized by Operation Rescue

drew thousands of anti-ab4rtÒiOn demonstrators to Wichita. More than 2,700 rrestsÒ resulted.

Abortion opponents gaii strength in the Legislature

in tl 1990s and began pushing annually

f new resttictions oft citing TillerÒs clinic

as a reason. A 1998 law restricting late-term procedures

wM aimed at him. Tiller also found himself under investigation by

the attorney generalÒs off and, most recently,

the Kansas Board of Healing Arts, which regulates

doctors.

The doctor himself bec a significant player

in state politics, forming a political action committee

in 2002 that funneled $153,000 into unsuccessful

efforts to defeat ar Republican Phill Kline as attorney gei

Just months into his term in 2003, Kline began

investigating TillerÒs clinic and one operated by

Planned I in the Kansas City suburb of

Overland Park. Through a judge, Kline tried to

obtain access to patientsÒ medical files, touching

off a lengthy legal battle that helped lead to his

re-election defeat in 200 by an abortion-rights

Democrat. KlineÒs successor as attorney general filed misdemeanor

charges against Filler in 2007, accusing

the doctor of failing to coqiply fully with the 1998

late-term abortion law, but a jury acquitted Tiller

on all charges in March. The Board of Healing Arts

immediately went public with its own complaint. Kline, meanwhile, became district attorney in

Johnson Cdunty, home to affluent Kansas City

suburbs, and continued investigating the Planned Parenthood clinic there. In 2007, he filed 107

criminal charges against the clinic; that case is

pending, though Kline was voted out of office in

2008.

ÓThereÒs a very promine vein in Kansas politics that tends toward moral righteousness,Ô said Kansas

State University ,politic scientist Joe Aistrup.

That contributes to the unending abortion battle:

ÓItÒs an unsettled deb4e that produces extremists on both, sides.Ô -

Peter Brownlie, as CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, has been on the front lines on th conflict for a decade and describes

Kansas as Ñthe epicenter of the abortion debate.Ô

ÓThere is a very clear and growing gap between the general public, and the political leaders who are committed to this being suñh a constant and volatile issue,Ô Bro*nlie said. ÓOn issues relating to family

planning, abortion, sex education, KansansÒ views

Ñare not markedly differer from most Americans Ù but there are political forces at work, some of

them well beyond the state borders.Ô Conflicts over social issues go back to KansasÒ

early days. It became a state in 1861 amid the

sometimes violent battle ever slavery, was among the forerunners in grantii voting rights tO women,

and also attracted Carrie Nation with her antiliquor

liquor crusade. ,
