Attorneys for Dr. George Tiller are asking
a state court to block two subpoenas for more than 2,000 records
from women who sought abortions at his Wichita clinic.
The motion filed Monday at the Sedgwick County Courthouse asks
for an expedited hearing.
Attorneys want the court to quash the subpoenas based on the
patients' right to privacy. It also argues clinics would face an
undue burden trying to produce so many medical records.
The doctor's attorneys also contend the grand jury process in
Kansas is unconstitutional.
