SHAWNEE MISSION, Kansas, Dec. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the midst of the maelstrom of events surrounding the demise of Attorney General Paul Morrison's career, Concerned Women for America of Kansas hopes that the real issue is not swept under the rug with Paul Morrison's shattered political life.  A problem that seems to be overlooked is that serious allegations have been made concerning Paul Morrison's relationship with Planned Parenthood and contentions that he sought confidential information about the case pending against them.  When one examines the watered-down charges eventually filed by Morrison against George Tiller's clinic in Wichita as a result of pressure from pro-life groups and the fact that there is much information suggesting that Morrison benefited greatly from financial backing from the billion dollar abortion industry to get elected, there should be an investigation.

"If the allegations are confirmed that Morrison, as the top law enforcement officer, illegally sought confidential information which he was not at liberty to obtain in order to protect the target of an investigation, Morrison should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Judy Smith State Director of Concerned Women for America of Kansas.  "Examination of political contribution reports reveals a shadowy trail indicating that Morrison was indebted to the abortion industry for winning his election; it is not a stretch to imagine that he might have been tempted to use his position and strategic personal relationships to gain information about an ongoing case against Planned Parenthood," further said Smith.  "The investigation should go forward in spite of Paul Morrison's resignation; the tip of the iceberg has been exposed…the public needs to know what lies beneath it."
