Debate grows over Kansas abortion law after court declines challenge
Kansas abortion law faces revision as lawmakers may repeal the partial birth ban or tighten late term limits. George Tiller challenged the statute as vague, and the Kansas Supreme Court refused to hear the case since no prosecutions exist yet. The court says lawmakers must untangle the law. The Special Committee on Judiciary had urged repealing the partial birth provision, highlighting competing views on restrictions for late term abortions and exceptions for maternal health.
