Another defeat for the 12th century religious freaks, but it's criminal that this doctor even had to endure this.
Those in the future will look back and shake their heads at the ruination of lives and overall nonsense the religious fundies have put this country through...much as we decry the Inquisitions or the Salem witch trials now.

Reporting from Wichita -- In a trial watched closely by those on both sides of the abortion debate, Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas physician accused of performing 19 illegal late-term abortions, was found not guilty today. The six-person jury, three men and three women, deliberated for less than an hour.
Those in the future will look back and shake their heads at the ruination of lives and overall nonsense the religious fundies have put this country through...much as we decry the Inquisitions or the Salem witch trials now.
Tiller was charged with 19 criminal misdemeanor counts of violating a Kansas law that requires a second opinion from a doctor with no legal or financial ties to any physician who terminates the pregnancies of women whose fetuses are considered "viable" -- or able to survive outside the womb. That generally happens around six months' gestation.
