TOPEKA, Kansas, March 22, 2007 (AP) – Abortion opponents filed an ethics complaint today against the Sedgwick County judge who dropped 30 misdemeanor criminal charges against the state's best-known abortion provider.
The complaint says district judge Paul Clark violated rules of judicial conduct by not disclosing campaign contributions he got in 2004 from a law firm representing Dr. George Tiller and Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston.
In December, former attorney general Phill Kline filed the criminal case against Tiller. He accused the doctor of performing illegal late-term abortions and failing to properly report the details to state health officials.
