Kansas regulators are expected to decide Friday whether to revoke the medical license of a doctor accused of performing substandard mental health exams on 11 young patients whom she then referred to the late Dr. George Tiller for late-term abortions.

The State Board of Healing Arts will review an administrative judge's February recommendation that it strip Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus of her license. The judge concluded that Neuhaus' 2003 examinations of 11 patients ages 10 to 18 were inadequate, saying her records lacked necessary information to show the exams were thorough and that she "seriously jeopardized" the patients' care.

Neuhaus provided the second opinion Tiller needed under Kansas law to perform late-term abortions on the patients at his Wichita clinic. Tiller was murdered in 2009 by an anti-abortion zealot.

Neuhaus has argued that her exams met accepted standards of care, and some abortion rights supporters questioned whether she can receive a fair hearing from the board, with Republican Gov.
