And remember, he's only doing it For Your Protection:Attorney General John Ashcroft is demanding records of abortions performed on hundreds of women at six Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country, ABCNEWS has learned.
In a motion for discovery filed Wednesday against Planned Parenthood Federation of America -- and subpoenas filed the same time against Planned Parenthood affiliates in San Diego, Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, D.C., western Pennsylvania and the Kansas/mid-Missouri region -- Ashcroft is demanding medical records of abortions performed in the last year, some on fetuses aborted early in in the second trimester. He says he needs the records for the suit against the banning of late term abortions that opponents call "partial-birth", but then why does he need *all* of those records? Intimidation, anyone?
