They also have to provide reasoning ans justification for a late term abortion in order to perform it.

Now he's gone through several lawsuits and what not about the way he solicited for second opinions etc. but has thus far been cleared.

No matter which way you look at it abortion is an ugly business but it isn't simply black and white. There is all sorts of grey.

They weren't just lawsuits, they were indictments on criminal charges. The main contentions were that he used doctors he had financial ties to for his second opinion on third trimester abortions, which is illegal in Kansas.

He was cleared on all charges. He's been the subject of a witch hunt for quite some time here.
