Former Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline has responded to a state ethics panel report with a 175-page document led off with a series of Bible verses.

A three-member disciplinary panel issued a report October 13 that determined Kline had repeatedly violated many of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct during his investigation abortion providers.

The Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys recommended an indefinite suspension of his law license, which Kline already has allowed to lapse in Kansas.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Kline’s response denies breaking ethics rules and calls the complaint against him politically motivated.

As district attorney, Kline filed 107 criminal charges against a Planned Parenthood clinic in 2007, accusing it of performing illegal abortions and falsifying records. Many of those charges have been dropped.
