Jenn Giroux Blogs Kathleen Sebelius

Jenn Giroux from Women Influencing the Nation articulately raises the alarm on the appointment of Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius (a pro-abort Catholic) to the cabinet Health and Human Services post:

Sebelius is arguably the best friend to the abortion industry of all our country’s governors. She has proven during her tenure that it is possible to have abortion restrictions on the books while simultaneously preventing their enforcement. As governor, she made prevention of enforcement and protection of the abortion business a top priority. When former Attorney General Phill Kline became the first prosecutor in the nation to file criminal cases based on redacted abortion records from infamous late term abortionist George Tiller and Planned Parenthood, Sebelius swung into action to prevent him from ever gaining a conviction.

More of Jenn's thoughts are up at humanevents.com.
