HB2436 creates the crime of coercion to obtain an abortion.
The House passed a motion to override the Governor’s veto of HB2436 on April 29, 2024, by a vote of 85 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because justice is the overall purpose of government. The State of Kansas has a dual role of protecting the “unalienable Rights” to life and liberty while punishing anyone responsible for depriving them. Equal justice of the law requires ending the practice of abortion entirely and securing the right to life for all persons. This most fundamental and God-given right is guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments of U.S. Constitution.
