Topexa’s House committee approved House Bill 2253 which would declare life begins at fertilization, drop tax credits for abortion procedures, and curb a woman’s ability to terminate a pregnancy. The debate centered on a provision banning abortion material in schools, with critics arguing it would bar volunteers and even a parent of an abortion provider from activities in their child’s classroom. An amendment to permit classroom volunteers was offered but opposed.
