GOP wants nomination of Sebelius withdrawn
The Boston Globe, April 24, 2009
Michael Steele, Republican National Committee chairman, asked President Barack Obama to withdraw Kathleen Sebelius' nomination as health secretary unless she answers more questions on abortion. Steele said Sebelius has not been forthcoming about her ties to a Kansas abortion doctor, George Tiller. The White House declined to comment and a spokesman for the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, dismissed Steele's complaints.
