Kansas push to license abortion providers faces legal hurdles
The state aims to implement a new licensing process for abortion providers, but federal and state court challenges block enforcement.

The policy follows anti abortion measures enacted earlier this year by Kansas lawmakers and Governor Sam Brownback.
