How an Anti-Abortion Law Firm Teamed Up With a Disgraced Kansas Attorney to Dispute 2020 Election

https://www.propublica.org/article/anti-abortion-activists-fighting-to-change-election-law

For decades, lawyers at the Thomas More Society have backed provocateurs and long shot causes in hopes of winning severe restrictions on abortion in the U.S.

As others in the anti-abortion movement distanced themselves from clinic protestors accused of trespassing, vandalism and sometimes violence, the Thomas More Society defended them in civil and criminal court. The legal nonprofit once sided with a Wisconsin pharmacist who refused to fill a birth control prescription on religious grounds.

More recently, the Chicago-based organization has embraced a far different but equally divisive undertaking — relentlessly questioning the integrity of elections. Leaping into the 2020 “Stop the Steal” frenzy, which was consistently discredited, the Thomas More Society aggressively pursued scores of lawsuits and complaints across the country.

Yet for all the scrutiny given to election denialism and its champions — including Rudy Giuliani, Mike Flynn and Sidney Powell, former advisers to President Donald Trump — the significant role played by the Thomas More Society has received little attention.

somehow I knew that asshole would show back up somewhere, sometime.

Aside from all the crap he pulled, tried to pull, talked about, wanted to do as AG in Kansas the thing that I remember him getting in the most trouble for and eventually losing his law license was giving Bill O'Reilly the names of women who had had abortions in Kansas. I think it was specifically from Dr. Tiller. How he got the info I do not remember. He was relentless as was Dr. Tiller. It was ugly.

I would put nothing passed this man.
