TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Two abortion clinics asked the state's highest court Monday to investigate Attorney General Phill Kline and Fox television's Bill O'Reilly over O'Reilly's statements that he had information from Kansas abortion records.
A Kline spokeswoman called the move "a political ploy."
The clinics' attorneys want the Kansas Supreme Court to seize records that Kline, an outspoken abortion opponent, obtained on 90 of the clinics' patients. Kline received edited versions of the records from a district judge on Oct. 24 after arguing he wanted to review the records for evidence of possible crimes including rape and illegal abortions.
The attorneys asked the court to appoint a special prosecutor to determine whether O'Reilly's information came from the records turned over to Kline.
There is no record of the Supreme Court ever appointing a special prosecutor, court spokesman Ron Keefover said.
