Kansas Loses Fight Against Embattled Abortion Doctor

[hlthe2b]

A Kansas judge has overturned the state medical board's revocation of a doctor's license over her referrals of young patients for late-term abortions.

Shawnee County District Judge Franklin Theis ruled that State Board of Healing Arts failed to show that mental health exams provided by Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus in 2003 were inadequate. In a ruling that became public Monday, the judge ordered the board to reconsider its sanctions.

The board in 2012 revoked Neuhaus' license to provide charity care over her exams of 11 patients, ages 10 to 18, nine years earlier. The board had ratified the decision of a hearing officer, who concluded Neuhaus failed to meet accepted standards of medical care because her records didn't show that she had done thorough exams. --snip--

The board can either take Neuhaus' case up again or appeal Theis' decision to the state Court of Appeals. Executive Director Kathleen Selzler Lippert said it would have a special meeting within a month to decide what action to take. She declined to comment further.
