Planned Parenthood says charges are a political attack

Planned Parenthood charged with performing illegal late-term abortions

Criminal complaint: State vs. Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood

One day after District Attorney Phill Kline hit Planned Parenthood with 107 criminal charges, the organization’s top official insisted it all boiled down to a political attack.

Peter Brownlie, president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said the organization would fight the charges against its Overland Park clinic and eventually be exonerated. Kline, he said, is using the district attorney’s office to further his own ambition to make abortion illegal.

“We can’t allow anti-choice politicians to harass and intimidate women or doctors in Kansas,” Brownlie said at a Thursday news conference. “… No health care provider should be threatened with felony convictions simply because elected officials oppose legal abortion.”
