SB286 would forbid abortion procedures, except when necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.
The Senate failed to withdraw SB286 from committee on March 21, 2024, by a vote of 7 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Kansas ought to end the practice of abortion entirely and secure the right to life for all persons. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
