You may have already heard that Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline is attempting to acquire the records of nearly 90 abortions that were performed in order to investigate violations of state laws against statutory rape and late-term abortions.
Although I don't agree with them, I understand the patient privacy concerns of the clinics in question (insofar as those concerns are really about protecting patient privacy and not covering their rears).
Well, I would understand their concerns, except tfor the fact that they have no qualms about violating patient privacy to hit them up for donations.
Under a section entitled, "Permissible Uses and Disclosures Without Your Written Authorization," the web site tells women who obtain abortions that they may be contacted with fundraising requests from Tiller's ProKanDo PAC or requests to financially support his abortion business.
"In connection with any fundraising, we may disclose to out (sic) fundraising staff demographic information about you (e.g., your name, address and phone number) and dates of health care that we provided you," the Tiller web site says.
Patients not wanting their personal information or abortion medical file data to be given to fundraisers must contact Tiller's office and opt out.
They hide information from authorities who want to prosecute child molesters, but give it to lobbyists who will hit you up for cash to make sure their business remains as unregulated as possible.
Yay for Kansas!!! :D
