Obama sued for secret abortion meetings - 'In haste to socialize medicine, president violated commitment to transparency'

A legal firebrand whose work fighting corruption left both Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney on the defensive today took on Barack Obama, suing the president for secret meetings with Planned Parenthood and other lobbyists on his plans to nationalize health care.

Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and, more recently, Freedom Watch USA, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

Dr. LeRoy Carhart said Friday he thinks expanding his practice in the Omaha suburb of Bellevue may be the best option.

Carhart says his lawyers are telling him he's not breaking state law by performing late-term abortions in Nebraska, but he hasn't made a final decision yet.

The Nebraska doctor has said he was a close friend of Tiller and performed abortions at Tiller's Wichita clinic.

Carhart twice has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge bans on a procedure its opponents call partial-birth abortion.
