Dr. McHugh
OVERLAND PARK, KAN. -
Attorney General Paul Morrison ordered Dr. Paul McHugh to cease and desist from speaking publicly, as he did last night to FOX 4, about the records on Wichita Dr. George Tiller and late-term abortions.
McHugh said the records don't justify late-term abortions under Kansas law. Morrison said Dr. McHugh's statements threaten the possibility of charges against Tiller, and violate patient privacy rights.
Dr. McHugh was in Overland Park Tuesday night speaking to a public forum. He's an expert witness hired in the first case filed against Dr. Tiller.
The panel was at an event sponsored the pro-life group women influencing the nation and Dr. McHugh did not show until nearly an hour after the program began. When he did arrive, he explained his lateness.
"Others of you have heard something I haven't heard directly, that the Attorney General of the state of Kansas does not want me to speak anymore and he is the Attorney General and I don't wish to run in the face of the Attorney General," Dr. McHugh said. "I don't know why he wouldn't want me to answer further questions. I think I've said my peace and further questions and answers may not serve any purpose further."
