Breaking: Both Kansas senators to oppose Planned Parenthood protector for federal judge
A press release this morning from Kansans for Life announced that both US senators from Kansas, Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts, will oppose Obama nominee Steve Six to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Who is Steve Six? From Planned Parenthood Corruption:
… Obama’s nomination of former KS Attorney General Stephen Six to the federal bench, some claim, is a payoff for Six’s role in protecting Planned Parenthood from the only criminal case ever filed against the abortion giant.
As AG, Six played a key role in silencing a witness of Planned Parenthood’s alleged criminal conduct and actually sued a sitting prosecutor and judge in an effort to have all evidence of PP criminality returned to PP. Six engaged in these actions while PP was [and still is] subject to a criminal prosecution.
Six was appointed to the position of AG by former KS Governor, now Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius.
PP was a key national political benefactor of Sebelius and poured millions of dollars into KS to thwart the criminal prosecution and support Sebelius politically. If convicted, PP stands to lose its $350 million plus in annual federal funding.
What now? Back to the KFL press release:
The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote on the Six nomination Thursday, June 16 [TODAY]. The committee has 10 Democrat and 8 Republican members, so Six will likely be recommended for confirmation to the full Senate.
However, this show of opposition by the two Kansas senators marks the first important step for defeating pro-abortion Steve Six’s rise to a lifelong seat on the federal bench.
It’s time to begin calling your senators to tell them to oppose Planned Parenthood protector Steve Six’s nomination to the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. I just did.

Every time I see a “it’s time to call your Senators” remark, I just wilt.

Jill, I would value your opinion and that of your readers on this matter: Being from Illinois, I honestly do not see any point in calling either of our staunchly pro-abortion senators. I have three small children and very little time to devote to the Pro-Life movemnt. I question the value in spending time calling two senators who have proven time and time again that they are completely uninterested in my opinion and even less interested in changing their own. Isn’t my time better spent on other activities? Like prayer? I admit I am jaded and resentful toward our senators but, seriously…can you blame me?
Thank you for all you do in the interest of the unborn. God bless you and your staff!
@rasqual – seriously! See my post.
HI Mama MT,
I have emailed, called and written my proabortion senators quite a bit. I would get the same generic emails and letters in reply. How divisive abortion is blah, blah, blah. To me it seemed as though I were wasting my time as well. They were voted out in the last election. :)
You can only do so much!
Prayer is good too!!
I continue to call and email my pro-abortion senators. I also save all those generic email response letters and forward them to the candidates running against them. It provides the candidates with fuel for their campaigns and proves that the incumbent senators do not listen to their constituents. I just keep on and also pray. Can’t go wrong with prayer!
RCH — great idea, forwarding the boilerplate to competing candidates. GREAT idea.
Folks like me, when we’re jaded and cynical, need imaginative shots in the arm from folks like you. :-)
And yes — prayer!
:) One abortion-tolerant senator retired, Carla, and one to go!
You got that right, Paladin!! :)

I hear you! What a state I live in. It isn’t really any better with Kirk than it was with Burris and forget Durbin.
