Abortion opponents have cleared the first hurdle to forcing a grand jury investigation of mentally retarded Texas woman following an abortion in Wichita.
Under Kansas law, citizens may force a grand jury investigation by gathering signatures on petitions.
Sedgwick County's election commissioner today certified a grand jury petition with nearly 62-hundred signatures. The matter has now been turned over to District Attorney Nola Foulston.
The 19-year-old woman was 28 weeks' pregnant when her parents
brought her to Wichita in January of 2005 for an abortion at Doctor George Tiller's clinic. She died three days later from a massive infection.
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts investigated the death and concluded that Tiller had complied with laws and standards of care in performing the abortion.
