Phill Kline says he wants to restore the rule of law in the lawless state of Kansas.Phill Kline, the Kansas City-area district attorney who’s waging a court battle over allegations that Planned Parenthood violated state law, announced late Monday to family and friends that he’s running for re-election.Pro-life leaders in Kansas applauded his decision.“I’m elated, because he won’t let Planned Parenthood off the hook,” said Pat Adair, Kansas director for Women Influencing the Nation. “The rule of law is what this campaign will be about. The law is broken here in Kansas.”Kline filed 107 charges in Johnson County last October against Planned Parenthood over allegations of falsified reports and illegal late-term abortions. If he leaves office, the case likely would die.
Kline’s opponent in the Republican primary on Aug. 5 is Steve Howe, one of seven assistant prosecutors Kline fired when he took office. Howe and the others then sued Kline.Kline told CitizenLink he and his wife and daughter prayed for months before making the decision.“I’ve been a prosecutor for quite some time now, and I’ve never seen a greater threat to the rule of law, such a powerful interest to purchase positions in government,” he said. “For a long, long time, I’ve been an advocate for the mentally disabled, the elderly, those who are particularly vulnerable and exploited by people with more power.”Kline will ask the Kansas Supreme Court in Topeka on Thursday to reject demands by Planned Parenthood that he surrender records that he says show evidence of the abortion provider’s criminal activity.
