It was tejek, not koan. And he may not have been convicted (due to a technicality in the law) but he should have been. He was conducting late-term abortions that were NOT for the health of the mother. But the law allowed him to do so if he could get another physician to say it was. Even if it wasn't. And that's what he did. =========== As the all too typical experience of Michelle Armesto-Berge attests, however, this is no more a trial about “technicalities” than Nuremberg was. In May 2003, as she would later testify before the Kansas legislature, the then 18-year-old Michelle Berge, now Armesto-Berge, was pressured by her mother to abort her baby in the 26th week of her pregnancy. “It’s murder and I will not do it,” Michelle protested, but her mother had other plans. Staff at Tiller’s clinic eased those plans along by informing Michelle of a Catholic group that “believed in abortion” and promised baptism for the aborted baby. In reality, the Catholic Church considers abortion “murder” and “always morally evil,” an article of faith that has so far eluded the ostensibly Catholic HHS nominee and Tiller patroness, Kathleen Sebelius. As Michelle would soon learn, Tiller honored Kansas law about as faithfully as he proffered Catholic doctrine. Under Kansas law, two independent physicians have to confirm that a woman carrying a viable unborn child could be saved from death or “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” only through a late-term abortion. Not one woman among the five with whom Michelle was being processed, herself included, risked physical or mental health impairment of any sort. The women talked among themselves during their stay in Wichita. “All were there,” Michelle testified, “because they were told [late-term abortion] would solve their problems.” These problems ranged from unreliable boyfriends to socially ambitious parents.
