Kansas Legislature Passes Controversial Abortion Bills Despite Expected Veto
TL;DR
The Kansas Legislature has passed a bill requiring providers to inform patients that a medication abortion can be "reversed" once it has started, despite experts disputing the claims of abortion opponents. The measure could face a state court challenge if supporters can overcome the governor's expected veto. Kansas has been an outlier on abortion among states with GOP-controlled legislatures because its legal and political climate won't allow a ban on abortion, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June 2022 that states can outlaw abortion.
