Doctors sue to stop Kansas abortion clinic regulations
Two Overland Park doctors are suing Kansas in federal court over strict new regulations that abortion clinics must comply with by July 1. Dr. Traci Nauser and her father, Dr. Herbert Hodes, who run the Center for Women’s Health, have filed suit arguing the new restrictions are unconstitutional.
KCUR’s Alana Gordon reports that the doctors canceled their inspection by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which must license abortion providers under new rules that the state passed in April. KDHE said none of the state’s three abortion providers comply with the new regulations.
