Court upholds Kansas constitution protects abortion rights
The Kansas Court of Appeals on a 7 7 split decision refused to enforce the first in the nation ban on a common second trimester abortion method. The court ruled Kansas constitution protects abortion rights independently from the U S Constitution, aligning with a Shawnee County judge who paused the 2015 law pending a challenge. The ruling could broaden state court protection of a woman’s right to end pregnancy beyond federal rulings.
