A Kansas district court judge recently refused to reinstate criminal charges against a nationally known abortion doctor, Dr. George Tiller, ruling that the Kansas attorney general had overstepped his authority in the case.

But the antiabortion activists who pray daily outside Tiller’s clinic are not willing to concede defeat.

Last spring they gathered more than 7.700 signatures demanding that a grand jury be convened to investigate the death of a 19-year-old mentally disabled patient at the doctor’s clinic and a spokesperson for the activists indicates that another petition drive will start shortly.

Kansas law permits abortions of viable fetuses only if the woman’s life is in danger or if two doctors certify that continuing the pregnancy would cause "a substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." Tiller’s clinic reported aborting 240 viable fetuses last year and it has been argued that, in some cases, the women were not facing irreversible health risks but rather were suffering from depression or anxiety.
