Abortion Foes Lose House Fight In Kansas Legislature
In Topeka Kansas anti abortion factions suffered three losses in the House including a plan requiring parental consent for under 16 abortions may not reach floor debate this session. The House also rejected restoring Senate language banning most abortions at KU Medical Center within a 682 million university appropriations bill. A conference committee was named after the House refused to concur with Senate changes on a child born alive ward of the state provision. Rep Joe Knopp said no committee meetings are planned before adjournment. The bill would have allowed KU Medical Center abortions only if the mother's life was at risk and the proposal totals show allocations to KU and other universities within the 682.7 million package. The session saw votes against amendments, budget shifts, and other measures affecting state agencies and university funding.
