Case against Kansas abortion rights PAC dismissed

The political action committee, Trust Women, announced Thursday it received a notice from the FEC this week dismissing the complaint filed last year by Operation Rescue.

The Trust Women Foundation opened a clinic last year in the late Dr. George Tiller’s former medical building. Tiller was among a few U.S. physicians known to perform late-term abortions and was murdered in 2009.

The separate Trust Women PAC disbanded in May. Operation Rescue alleged that the PAC was improperly funding the clinic’s operations. The PAC acknowledged small loans to the clinic.

The FEC said loans from the PAC to the clinic would not be illegal.
