Washington D.C., Apr 18, 2023 / 08:50 am Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Friday vetoed a “born-alive” bill protecting babies who survive botched abortions. This comes the week after Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a similar bill mandating doctors’ care for abortion survivors.
Both Kansas and Arizona have majority Republican legislatures but Democratic governors.
In Kansas, where abortion is legal until the 22nd week of pregnancy, the governor called the born-alive bill “misleading” and “unnecessary.”
“Federal law already protects newborns, and the procedure being described in this bill does not exist in Kansas in the era of modern medicine,” Kelly claimed in her official veto statement.
“The intent of this bill is to interfere in medical decisions that should remain between doctors and their patients,” Kelly added.
Contrary to Kelly’s claims, Sarah Moe with the Abortion Survivors Network told CNA that her organization projects that 1,734 babies are born alive after failed surgical abortions every year.
“Although 1,734 is what we can account for based on those more medical procedures, it’s really hard to track the chemical abortions, which is going to yield a higher failure rate, which means a higher survival rate for those infants,” Moe said. “And those infants in turn are susceptible to exposure to another abortion.”
“During the 49 and a half years of Roe v. Wade, we estimate that 85,817 infants were born alive,” Moe said. “[That means] that abortion survivors during the Roe era wouldn’t fit in the stadium where we held the Super Bowl this year.”
As for Kelly’s claims that federal law protects born-alive abortion survivors, Moe told CNA that no such federal law currently exists.

Two women governors... Women are the worst when it comes to killing unborn babies, and apparently even born ones.
You would think, given their motherly instincts, the opposite would be true. But apparently convenience trumps motherhood.
Another stolen election for the Communist Party.
Progressives see the unborn as mere property, property to be disposed of as the “owner” sees fit.
This is EXACTLY the way slave owners saw their slaves.
A crime again G_d then. A crime against G_d now.
I would not want to be in their shoes when they stand before the Creator

> Anything wrong with spelling the whole word, G_d? <
Personal preference. Some folks (including me) try to avoid spelling out the whole word unless actually discussing the Word as written. It’s a respect thing.
But I do not look down upon anyone who might disagree! Like I said, it’s personal preference.
Me neither!
It only takes a few counties to f*ck it up for the whole state. Gov. Kelly is the devil.
Yep, just hedonistic and selfish Karens’, those two.
About 2004, I remember a guy in the Illinois State Senate named Barak Obama sponsoring legislation to protect doctors in murdering babies from botched abortions. I thought, “This guy is straight from hell”.
AZ & NE, two ass-wipe, Nancy-boy, RINO governors who toe the Marxist line...
Men need to man up and stop voting for these hos. When you go to vote, think with your other head. The one on your shoulders.
Confirming their special place in hell.
1st question. What is wrong with adoption????
2nd question. Who’s next????
The good news is the Kansas Legislature is reconvening next week, when they likely will override most of Kelly’s vetoes.
Kansas and Arizona two more feral states on the waste land list.
