USA: Abortionist stripped of license over late-term abortion referrals

This item was filled under [ General, USA ]

lifenews.com on February 21, 2012 reported that the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts has ordered the revocation of the medical license of abortion practitioner Ann Kristin Neuhaus, stating that Neuhaus’ practice of providing late-term abortion referrals to George Tiller was “professionally incompetent” and constitutedunprofessional conduct.” Kansas abortion law requires a second physician in a late-term abortion situation verify that the pregnancy met the strict exceptions to the Kansas ban on post-viability abortions. State law also required a second physician have no financial links to the primary abortion practitioner. However, Neuhaus and Tiller were financially associated — making the abortions technically illegal under state law.
