Kansas legislators gave final passage to a sweeping anti-abortion measure Friday night, sending Gov. Sam Brownback a bill that declares life begins "at fertilization" while blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and banning abortions performed solely because of the baby's sex.
The House voted 90-30 for a compromise version of the bill reconciling differences between the two chambers, only hours after the Senate approved it, 28-10. The Republican governor is a strong abortion opponent, and supporters of the measure expect him to sign it into law so that the new restrictions take effect July 1.
In addition to the bans on tax breaks and sex-selection abortions, the bill prohibits abortion providers from being involved in public school sex education classes and spells out in more detail what information doctors must provide to patients seeking abortions.
The measure's language that life begins "at fertilization" had some abortion-rights supporters worrying that it could be used to legally harass providers. Abortion opponents call it a statement of principle and not an outright ban on terminating pregnancies.
"Not an outright ban on terminating pregnancies." Yeah right.
Essentially these Bible thumping assholes are making it all but impossible for women to get access to the information to help them prevent pregnancies, and then following that up with denying them services which would allow them to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
Essentially the message to women in Kansas is "You may think that body is yours, but once you take in a little semen, your ass belongs to us!"
If this keeps up it will not be too much longer before you won't be able to throw away a used condoms anymore since it be considered "fertilized."
Ignorant people, making ignorant laws, to help ignorant teenagers, give birth to more ignorant babies. And people wonder why America has fallen so far behind other industrialized nations in the last twenty years.
