Historic Pro-Life Bills on Their Way to Governor’s Desk

March 29, 2011

The Kansas House of Representatives gave final approval today to two bills that will transform Kansas, long known as the late-term abortion capital of the country, into a model for state Pro-Life legislation.  The House approved Fetal Pain legislation by a vote of 94-28 and late-term abortion and parental consent legislation by a vote of 100-22.  The bills now await action by Governor Brownback, who has expressed strong support for them both.
