Gotcha again. Last February, Kansans for Life uncovered an abuse of medical privacy on the website of late-term Wichita abortionist George Tiller.

Kansans for Life distributed a press release yesterday outting Planned Parenthood of Kansas/Mid-Missouri for the same thing:

Planned Parenthood of Kansas/Mid-Missouriand Wichita late-term abortionist George Tiller are contesting whether certain abortion records must be produced for judicial review, as requested by Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline. Oral arguments are scheduled for Sept.8 at the Kansas Supreme Court.

PPKM claims that they are the safe-keepers of medical information from an "inquisition" by the Kansas Attorney General. Yet PPKM has also decided that they are free to use patient records for their own private fundraising needs. In a reversal of common sense, PPKM contends that privileged medical records are safe in the hands of transitory marketing staff but not in the custody of sworn officers of the court.

See for yourself.

This certainly weakens PP's claim that abortion records are "about a covenant between a doctor and his/her patient... a covenant of confidentiality that all citizens expect and deserve. We will do everything we can to protect the medical privacy of women, including those who seek abortion care."

They'll do everything they can unless they see a way to make money from a breach of privacy. Perhaps AG Kline should offer to pay PP for its fundraising list, I mean, "covenant[s] of confidentiality."
