Debunking the Sebelius Abortion Decline
By Michael J. New, University of Alabama
President Obama’s nomination of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health and Human Services has set off a firestorm of controversy in Catholic political circles. A number of Catholic organizations, citing Sebelius’ steadfast support for legal abortion and her cozy relationship with notorious late term abortionist George Tiller, have publicly come out in opposition to her nomination. Sebelius’ own archbishop, Joseph Naumann has expressed concerns about her nomination as well. However, some progressive Catholic organizations, most notably Catholics United, have come to defense of Sebelius. Furthermore, instead of shying away from the abortion issue, Catholics United is boldly arguing that Sebelius is functionally pro-life. They argue that the health and welfare policies Sebelius pursued as Governor resulted in a significant abortion decline in Kansas.
However, this abortion reduction argument put forth by Catholics United is problematic for several reasons. First and foremost, abortion statistics from Kansas are among the least reliable in the country. Between 1979 and 1987 data from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment indicate that the number of abortions performed in Kansas fell by almost 50 percent. Then between 1987 and 1992 the number of abortions suddenly increased by 73 percent. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment states that these sharp fluctuations are partly due to changes in reporting and not the actual incidence of abortion. Furthermore, according to data from the CDC, 40 percent of Kansas abortions are performed on out of state residents, which is one of the highest figures in the country.... [more]
From a related article:
"You can call the picture [of a developed fetus] at left whatever you want. Whatever it is - it is 26 weeks old.
Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas has offed 60,000 of these around
this age and older...."

Palin unscripted
(KTUU Alaska 11/12/2008, 32 min. Q/A)
Palin also talked about why it seemed she was kept away from the national media during the beginning of her campaign.
"I'm not going to say anything negative about the strategy of the campaign, because it was such a positive experience, and I will never say anything negative about John McCain and the people who he surrounded himself with. He had very sharp and professional and experienced people around him in the campaign.
"I do though believe that they were surprised at my desire to be out there speaking to Americans, speaking to Alaskans -- the only way you can do that is through reporters, of course -- and I think they were surprised.
"I think Kyle (Hopkins, a local reporter) called me once on my cell phone, and they were like, ‘A reporter's got your cell phone number?' And I said, ‘That's the way we roll in Alaska, yeah.' I talk to reporters every single day, and I think they were surprised at that -- that that was my desire, to be able to reach out and speak to more people through the media. That took some getting used to."
