Anti Choice Zealots push for further restrictions in Kansas
Because you know the GOP war on women is all about jobs, not zealotry…
On a more serious, less snarky note, Brownback and his followers are just setting Kansans up for a long series of lawsuits destined for losses that they can ill afford. I wonder if he’s going to hire the pricey Koch brother attorneys when these get challenged in court as well?
Anti-abortion groups are planning to seize the momentum of spring victories in the Kansas Capitol and push for more restrictive measures, even ahead of the 2012 legislative session.
A petition has begun circulating for Gov. Sam Brownback to convene a special session this fall to consider a so-called “heartbeat bill” that would ban abortions when a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Another group plans to introduce a bill calling for a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing the rights of personhood to every human being from the beginning of biological development, including fertilization.
Both measures would defy Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that affirmed a woman’s right to have an abortion until the fetus would be viable outside the womb, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
