Kansas Democrat Legislator fined One Hundred Dollars for Assaulting Pro-Life ActivistOperation Rescue’s Troy Newman was eliciting good natured laughs from the crowd of about 2000 as he and other pro-life activists danced through it dressed in cockroach costumes. The protest, Newman said, was meant to draw attention to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' support for abortion and her refusal to open the state’s abortion facilities to health and safety inspections.
Operation Rescue had bought the building that housed the Witchita abortion facility, Central Women’s Services, and discovered mold and roach infestations. During the debate at the fair, Flora, who was wearing a Sebelius T-shirt, approached Newman and tore his mask off, causing a laceration to Newman’s head.
“I think what Flora is ultimately guilty of is a lack of sense of humour,” Newman added.
