In Kansas, a woman’s right to reproductive freedom is enshrined in the state constitution. The issue should be settled — especially after voters preemptively and decisively smacked down lawmakers’ last overreach to gut abortion rights. Apparently, according to Kansas Republicans, it isn’t.
GOP leaders in Kansas have made it known that their agenda for 2023 is to restrict abortion access around the state. Any attempt to bring that fight to the local level must be rejected.
Kansas Senate Bill 65, a proposed piece of legislation that would turn abortion control over to cities and counties in the Sunflower State, caught our attention. Kansans don’t need a hodgepodge of nonsensical laws governing a woman’s body. Any law that restricts a woman’s health choice is a bad one — locally or statewide.
