Wichita abortion provider George Tiller has, at least, won a temporary victory in court. The Kansas Supreme Court has stepped in to delay a grand jury that has been called to investigate allegations of breaking state restrictions on late-term abortions.
In an order signed by Chief Justice Kay McFarland, the court says the delay has been granted due to the "unique circumstances" of the case.
The parties involved in the case are now ordered to respond to the grand jury petition by November 16th. The grand jury was originally scheduled to convene Tuesday.
Attorney General Paul Morrison has already filed 19 misdemeanor charges against the Tiller, but many abortion opponents believe Tiller should be prosecuted even more aggressively.
