GOP Chairman Michael Steele challenged President Obama yesterday to withdraw his nomination of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of Health and Human Services, until straightforward answers be given regarding her ties to the abortion industry. Steele’s statement came the same day Republican senators blocked Sebelius’ confirmation vote. Sebelius obviously fears no opposition…the same day she vetoed yet ANOTHER Kansas state law that would have restricted late-term abortions.

Steele issued a press release saying:

“Significant questions remain about Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ evolving relationship with a late-term abortion doctor as well as about her position on the practice of late-term abortions. The Senate should not vote, nor should Gov. Sebelius be confirmed, until these questions are answered fully and completely.”

Steele asserts that Sebelius “has not been forthcoming” about her financial relationship with Kansas late-term abortionist George Tiller. “She admitted the full extent of the political contributions she received from Dr. Tiller only after press reports contradicted her previous financial statements,” Steele pointed out. He also challenged Sebelius to publicly reveal her position on “the extremist and heinous practice of late-term abortions.”

“The vast majority of Americans do not support the concept of late-term abortions. They deserve to know whether President Obama’s choice to be the nation’s top health official supports these indefensible procedures.”

If Sebelius and the Obama administration refuse to give answers, he concluded, “President Obama should withdraw her nomination.” Steele’s remarks put further strain on a nomination already troubled by questions lately raised concerning Sebelius’ true relationship with George Tiller. Tiller, currently under investigation for performing illegal abortions, conducts one of the busiest late-term abortion businesses in the country. Pro-life advocates point out that his success is largely due to Sebelius’ consistent vetoing of laws that would have restricted or enforced restrictions on late-term abortions in the state.

When asked about her connection to the Kansas abortionist by one Republican senator last week, Sebelius reported only a fraction of the actual donations she received from Tiller and his political action committee, as later revealed in state records and a letter from Tiller.

The Sebelius-Tiller team is possibly the most heinous and brutal threat to the unborn in this country. If confirmed, the death-toll will certainly expand beyond its already unconscionable level. Tiller aborts perfectly healthy, viable babies. All he needs is a “note from the doctor” stating any excuse possible for the mother to abort. Bloody, dirty, deceptive and shameful. You know the drill: Contact your Senators and urge them NOT to confirm Kathleen Sebelius for HHS Secretary.
