Kan. medical board files complaint over abortions
WICHITA, Kan. — A Kansas doctor who provided second opinions for a late-term abortion provider slain last year could face disciplinary action from a state medical regulatory board.
Dr. Ann Neuhaus provided the second opinions for Dr. George Tiller that are required in Kansas for abortions performed after the 21st week of pregnancy when a fetus can survive outside the womb.
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts alleges the Nortonville woman failed to properly evaluate whether some late-term abortions were necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother — as required by Kansas law.
The petition was made public Tuesday by the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.
Neuhaus could not be reached for comment.
