Kansas Attorney General Seeks About 90 Women's Full Medical Records

Two abortion clinics are fighting Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline's demand for the clinics to turn over the complete medical records of nearly 90 women and girls. He says he needs the material for an investigation into underage sex and illegal late-term abortions. The medical records include the patient's name, medical history, details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile.
