In case you doubted that it's about punishing the evil unchaste temptresses....

...and not about babies' lives at all, here's your proof:

The Kansas attorney general, a staunch opponent of abortion, has demanded the medical records of nearly 90 woman and girls who had late-term abortions, saying he needs the material to investigate crimes.

The two abortion clinics involved in the case say the state has no right to such personal information and are fighting the request in the Kansas Supreme Court.

But Attorney General Phill Kline insisted Thursday he needs the records because he has ``the duty to investigate and prosecute child rape and other crimes in order to protect Kansas children.''

Sex involving someone under 16 is illegal in Kansas, and it is illegal in the state for doctors to perform an abortion after 22 weeks unless there is reason to believe it is needed to protect the mother's health.

Kline spoke to reporters after details of the secret investigation, which began in October, surfaced in a legal brief filed by attorneys for the two clinics. The clinics argued that unless the high court intervenes, women who obtained abortions could find government agents knocking at their door.

The clinics said Kline demanded their complete, unedited medical records for women and girls who sought abortions at least 22 weeks into their pregnancies in 2003. Court papers did not identify the clinics.

The records sought include the patient's name, medical history, details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile.

Now that one of their own has obtained a second term as president, the Christofascists have been emboldened to drop the pretense that they're defenders of human life, and are now free to expose what they really are -- frightened little dickless men who are terrified of sexuality -- their own, to be sure, but also of that of the evil females who cause them to get those boners in the dead of night.

These people are sick motherfuckers, that's all there is to it. This attorney general is an absolute monstrosity. You want to know why we say it's OUR bodies? This is why. Coming on the heels of the attempt at legislation in Virginia that would allow women who didn't report miscarriages within 24 hours to be charged with a crime, it's pretty clear what these guys are all about.

For all that this guy SAYS it's about finding "child rape" (hmmmmm....he IS obsessed with that, isn't he?), how come he's going after the girl, not after the so-called rapists? Maybe because he believes, along with so many of his Christofascist peers, that men are helpless victims in the face of evil Daughters of Eve?

I hope everyone who voted for Bush is happy now. And I don't want to hear any more about the "liberated" women of Afghanistan, either.
