Kansas Attorney General Demands Women's Abortion Records

He is seeking the women's names, sexual history and medical details, saying he wants to investigate possible child rape or illegal abortions.
But the clinics involved accuse Mr Kline, an abortion opponent, of trying to launch a "secret inquisition".
They say he is "fishing" rather than investigating a specific crime and want the state Supreme Court to intervene.
Mr Kline began the inquiry in October but it only became public when the clinics filed an appeal against a court order to hand over the records.
