The cover-up of ambulance calls to abortion facilities in Chicago and opposing the ACLU’s defense of dismemberment abortions in Kansas

The Thomas More Society out of Chicago is currently involved in two matters of interest. In the first it is representing the Pro-Life Action League in a dispute with the City of Chicago and the Illinois Department of Public Health over emergency medical calls to area abortion clinics. As we have reported in the past, there are numerous instances of women being maimed and killed at these clinics. The issue here involves the release of the emergency calls under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The city has refused all requests and Thomas More is taking up the cause.

In the second matter, the Kansas legislature has passed a bill that outlaws dismemberment abortions. The Kansas ACLU has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of that law and Thomas More, representing the Family Research Council, has now filed briefs with the Kansas Supreme Court supporting the law.

Discussing these matters will be Thomas More attorney Tom Olp. Tom has been a guest on our program before and we expect a lively conversation about these cases as well as a discussion of other cases that are of interest to people of faith.

So join Deacon Mike Manno and Gina Noll Tuesday at 9 a.m. on Iowa Catholic Radio, 1150 AM; 88.5 & 94.5 FM and streaming on IowaCatholicRadio.com for an interesting discussion of these issues.
