His speech at a national convention in KC comes as the Tiller case is again making news.
By DAVID KLEPPER The Kansas City Star
Stymied by the courts and voters, Phill Kline took his crusade against abortion to a friendly audience Thursday, delivering a sizzling indictment before the National Right to Life Convention.
“The soil of Kansas is stained red,” said Kline, formerly the Kansas attorney general and now Johnson County district attorney.
“Abortion is sin, and sin always begins with a lie.”
Before his speech, Kline criticized his successor, Attorney General Paul Morrison, for not taking seriously the investigation Kline began into alleged illegal abortions performed at two Kansas clinics.
The three-day convention, held in Kansas City for the first time since 1984, brings together several hundred members of anti-abortion groups from across the nation.
Walking through the crowd during his hourlong speech, Kline called on the audience to rise up “above the din of a decadent culture” to defeat abortion, which he called “the slaughter of the innocent.” He compared the anti-abortion movement to the cause of abolition and cited Kansas’ history of standing against slavery.
“Kansas has a rich heritage and must rise again,” he said.

NOTE: Before Kline’s speech, the audience heard taped messages from PRESIDENT BUSH and potential GOP presidential contender FRED THOMPSON recited their anti-abortion records and vowed to continue to support the cause.
Bush called abortion “one of the great moral issues of our time.”
