Chipping Away at a Woman's Right to Choose

There is a new threat to the Roe vs. Wade decision. In a move that seems to strong-arm women away from making the very hard decision to have an abortion, Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline is seeking access to the medical records of 80 patients who received late-term abortions last year.

Priscilla Smith, director of the domestic legal program at the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York said, "It really is scary for patients. As more and more restrictions are placed upon abortion, there's more and more opportunity for self-righteous and right-wing antiabortion attorneys general and prosecutors to do these kinds of investigations."
