Abortion doctor George Tiller's appearance at governor's mansion raises ire

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' spokeswoman confirms that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller attended a reception last year at the governor's residence.

But spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran disputes an anti-abortion group's description of the event as honoring Tiller.

Corcoran says Sebelius donated a reception at the residence as an item for a fundraising auction for the Greater Kansas City Women's Political Caucus. Tiller purchased it and the event was held April 9, 2007, she said.

She said Sebelius didn't control who purchased the item.

The anti-abortion group Operation Rescue contends the event shows close ties between Sebelius and the abortion industry. It published photos from the event Wednesday on its Web site.

The Associated Press could not confirm it was Tiller in those photos.

Guests of Bilious Sebelius also included notorious California abortionist quack Shelley Sella, who committed multiple violations in the coerced illegal 2003 abortion committed upon schoolgirl Michelle Armesto, as testified before a joint legislative committee in Topeka last summer, and notorious Nebraska partial-birth abortionist quack Leroy Carhart, who had his hand in the covered-up, botched, post-viable abortion death of 19-year-old rape victim Christin Gilbert in 2005, and California abortionist quack Susan Robinson.
The attempted cover-up the taxpayer funding of the steak and lobster menu, a violation of the Kansas Open Records Act, is another of the illegal actions in a widespread criminal conspiracy to cover up abortion mill crimes in order to protect the blood-soaked “contributions” that have promoted Sebelius and the Democrat Party to power in Kansas.

The AP can't confirm it was Tiller??? You've got to be absolutely kidding me. Did they look at them even in passing???

What an absolute joke. Did they call Sebelius and ask her??? She admitted to it today, so why didn't they just pick up the phone and say, "Hey gov, saw some pics of you and this guy on Operation Rescue's website today. Was that Tiller?"

I guess this was too much for the AP or ANY NEWS ORGANIZATION IN THE STATE. You call yourselves reporters... You're pathetic
