Abortion bill faces strong opposition at Kansas hearing
About 30 witnesses opposed the House Federal and State Affairs Committee proposal to create a new state abortion law. Opponents including Pat Turner of Right to Life of Kansas critiqued key provisions, while proponents defend parental counseling and viability rules amid potential repeal of the 1970 statute. Dr. Michael Peil of Wichita questioned viability standards and the allowance of abortion for fetal deformity.

Senate sends House sentencing proposal in Kansas reforms
In Topeka the Senate sent to the House a bill to reform criminal sentencing creating a fixed sentencing system. Sen Wint Winter Jr said the measure would ensure uniform sentences for similar crimes and histories, calling current indeterminate sentencing a "big lie." The plan would tighten penalties for violent crime and reduce prison stays for property crimes.
