Religious Opposition To The Abortion Bill
The Kansas Conference of Bishops urged the legislature to reject a bill changing abortion law. Signed statements from Arch bishop Edward J. Hunkeler and three other bishops oppose the measure and favor preserving current law with a provision to save the life of the mother. They argue life is inalienable and the state has no right to destroy innocent human life. The Senate Judiciary Committee planned further hearings on allowing abortions in licensed hospitals by licensed physicians.
