Abortion | Two ethics investigations have cleared former Kansas prosecutor Phill Kline of allegations that he mishandled evidence in abortion cases, but he's now facing a third. Critics suspect that challenging Planned Parenthood was his real crime | Les Sillars

LYNCHBURG, Va.—Recently Phill Kline, ex-attorney general of Kansas, approached the lunchroom vending machines in the Liberty University School of Law, where he is now a visiting professor. A maintenance worker looked up with a glimmer of recognition and asked, "How's that, ah, trial going?"

Kline paused and considered the allegations he faces, all stemming from the six tumultuous years he investigated Planned Parenthood and late-term abortionist George Tiller. The ethics hearing, which will conclude in July, is the state legal establishment's third investigation into Kline's efforts to prosecute the abortion facilities. The previous two had cleared him.

The allegations are that he misled judges and mishandled evidence while serving as attorney general and then Johnson County district attorney. Many pro-lifers, though, believe he's really on trial for trying to uphold Kansas law regarding child rape and late-term and underage abortions.
