Well, Kansas finally has something that will attract tourism. Abortion clinics will pop up everywhere.
Good luck finding doctors that want to do that work. Kind of like good luck finding lawyers that want to do immigration work.
Two words: George Tiller
That’s already the case. More than half of abortions in Kansas are from women who live outside the state.
I understand this vote prevents legislature implementing a ban. The news articles crow as if abortion is now completely unrestricted, which is a sick thing to celebrate.
Kansas has already had an increased number of people coming from more restrictive neighboring states for abortion. Not all people having sex get abortions from carelessness in birth control. Two very sad events for people who wanted the child they conceived are those who have an ectopic pregnancy or a fetal death. I was born before WW2, but when the war ended my parents wanted more children. My mother had a miscarriage and fortunately her body expelled the dead fetus completely. Sometimes the body does not do that, and there can be long waits in proving that failure to find a heartbeat proves death, and doctors are now afraid to act. Delays in removing a rotting fetus can cause serious health results and even maternal death. An ectopic pregnancy often happens when an egg is fertilized before it leaves the fallopian tube to settle in the womb where it belongs. There is no way to move such a fetus from the tube to the womb and have it implant itself. About 1% of pregnancies are ectopic. I just saw that a woman in Europe won a medal in a current competition. She had an ectopic pregnancy not too long ago. Should she have been condemned to death by excessively restrictive laws? By the way, my mom did have 2 sons afterwards.
