Obama says budget not ideal but offers tough reforms
President Barack Obama described his forthcoming 2014 budget as not his ideal plan yet one that imposes tough reforms on benefit programs, raises taxes on the wealthy, and aims to reduce deficits by about 1.8 trillion over ten years. He argues the package funds public works, early education, and job training while slowing growth in benefits. Kansas Governor Brownback urged state-led growth as Republicans push tax cuts and reforms.

Kansas abortion bill adds at fertilization language amid debate
Kansas lawmakers push a bill sent to Gov. Brownback that blocks tax breaks for abortion providers and bans school sex education materials while detailing unborn children and parental interests at fertilization. Opponents warn language could empower antiabortion efforts, though supporters say it reflects a general principle. The measure cites Supreme Court limits and aims to make Kansas the 14th state with such language, per the National Right to Life Committee.
