Kansas Senate backs ban on dilation and evacuation abortion
The Kansas Senate approved a measure redefining dilation and evacuation as dismemberment abortion by a 31 to 9 vote. The bill, drafted by the National Right to Life Committee, would outlaw the second trimester procedure and is set to move to the House with Gov. Sam Brownback pledged to sign if passed. The measure targets about 8 percent of Kansas abortions and follows a 2007 Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal late term ban.
