Doctor skirts law on late abortions in Kansas
Department of Health and Environment records show no partial birth abortions in Kansas by end of 1997. Tiller clinic says it performs a few late term abortions under the 1998 Kansas law with two physicians’ agreement or to save a woman's life. Law allows exceptions for life or major permanent impairment but bans viable fetuses after 22 weeks. Senate leader says exceptions needed to keep law constitutional. Tiller filed suit with Kansas Supreme Court arguing vagueness and rights issues as more states adopt similar bans.
