Kansas abortion bill fuels rights debate in statehouse
Kansas lawmakers tackled abortion policy including a ban on sex selection claims though no evidence exists in Kansas. Senate Bill 142 would bar wrongful birth suits against doctors, drawing criticism from Kansas NOW and KU advocates who warn of government overreach into medical decisions.
