Each GOP candidate has a position on abortion. Phill Kline, of Shawnee, and Dr. Gary Morsch, of Olathe, both are anti-abortion. Gary Musil, of Overland Park, supports abortions rights. In the less visible campaigning going on, there is far more discussion of that issue. What most candidates have learned to do is not talk about it.
People know where they stand.
The candidates are jockeying for position, however. A state representative for eight years, Kline long has held himself out as the champion of the conservatives and a fighter against abortion. I firmly believe when the rights of the most vulnerable are exploited, all of our freedoms are in jeopardy. His position is extreme in this district. Musil, the Overland Park City Council president, said Kline is wrong.
