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.
