You're Not in California Any More, LA Times

The LA Times is obviously disturbed by the Kansas Attorney General, but they have virtually no dirt on the guy. This report paints him as a diehard Christian who opposes abortion and gay rights and who stretches the law to fit his agenda. They picture him as an extremist (which in LA he would be), but it also discusses how he overcame great socio-economic odds to become a success. Link. Excerpt:

He travels the state preaching from church pulpits, with a firebrand charisma that has earned him a reputation as the state's best orator. He declares that some of the laws he's sworn to enforce are repugnant to him – especially a woman's right to abortion. He says he will uphold that right, but he interprets it narrowly.

Kansas law permits abortions late in pregnancy only if the woman would otherwise face "a substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." To Kline, this means her physical health must be gravely threatened.

That interpretation is at odds with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that restrictions on abortion must include exceptions for the woman's mental as well as physical health.

Nonetheless, Kline is weighing criminal charges against doctors who may have terminated advanced pregnancies out of concern for the mother's psychological state. Seeking evidence, he is demanding access to dozens of patient medical records; the abortion clinics are appealing.
