Foliage Development, Inc. of Wichita has obtained a temporary order blocking abortionist Mila Means from starting a new abortion business in her Wichita office. Means is currently in training once a month at Aid for Women abortion mill in Kansas City, Kansas, where she is being taught how to do abortions.
According to the suit, Means contacted the landlord for her office to inform them of her intent to begin offering abortions on Saturdays starting sometime later this year. The landlord indicated to her that she could not do so because it would violate provisions of her contract that prohibit causing a nuisance. Means indicated that she would proceed with her abortion plans despite objections.
Foliage then filed suit and was granted a temporary restraining order Friday against Means until a full hearing can be held.
Pro-life leaders, including Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, are scheduled to testify at the hearing, which is scheduled for Feb. 15, saying they plan to continue to host protests in the business park if Means begins an abortion practice either there, or anywhere else.
Operation Rescue has also expressed concerns that an abortion business operated by Means would be a danger to the public. Apparently, Means was disciplined by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts in 2007 for having an inappropriate relationship with a patient and for undisclosed offenses that were sexual in nature. She is also in tremendous debt and has on file an order from one creditor to garnish her wages.
There has been an outpouring of community opposition to Means' plans to bring an abortion business back to Wichita. The city has been abortion-free since the June, 2009 closing of an abortion mill run by George Tiller, the late term abortionist who was gunned down in May, 2009.
At least three tenants leasing space in the same business park have threatened to move if abortions are done there, indicating that it and the ensuing public protests would present an unacceptable disruption to their businesses.
"Whoever thinks they can set up an abortion business in Wichita has seriously underestimated the resolve of this community to remain abortion free," said Newman. "All peaceful and legal means will be used to prevent the further loss of innocent life by abortion in a community that is more than weary of it."
