Associated Press - June 22, 2007
THE ISSUE: Some abortion opponents believe Attorney General Paul Morrison is beholden to George Tiller, the Wichita doctor known nationally for performing late-term abortions, even though Tiller didn't contribute to Morrison's campaign last year.
WHY THE CONNECTION: ProKanDo, a political action committee formed by Tiller in 2002, raised more than $650,000 in 2005-06, including $121,000 from Tiller. It worked to defeat Attorney General Phill Kline, an anti-abortion Republican.
WHY IT'S DEBATED: Morrison is finishing up an investigation of Tiller's activities. Anti-abortion groups don't believe he'll prosecute the doctor.
