Today’s dispatch from Gilead
Meanwhile, Kansas government has gone all in:
In spring 2011, some of the most sweeping antiabortion measures in the nation became Kansas law, including the defunding of Planned Parenthood and the imposition of building specifications and medical equipment requirements — both of which Means said would put abortion providers out of business. Both laws were stayed pending court challenges.
Now, with abortion-related laws being debated in several states, eyes again turn to Kansas. In February, Kansas lawmakers introduced new antiabortion measures that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has promised to sign, including a bill to stop tax deductions for abortion-related expenses. Other provisions would require that patients hear the fetal heartbeat and shield doctors against lawsuits if they do not inform patients of problems in pregnancies.
That last is nearly unbelievable to me. They are telling doctors basically that it’s ok to lie to their patients about risky pregnancies. Indeed, it’s preferable.
They truly want women to die and for babies with incurable congenital diseases to suffer. My God these people are cruel.
