Another reason to amend state constitution
Editors note. This is based on information provided by Kansans for Life
Governor Laura Kelly announced today her selection of Evelyn Wilson to fill the seat of retired Kansas Supreme Court Justice Lee Johnson.
Kansans for Life is not surprised that the governor chose someone as a Supreme Court Justice who supports her vision for unlimited abortion in the state.
This is yet another reason why we need to amend the Kansas Constitution, and ensure that women and their babies can be protected by reasonable regulations on the abortion industry.
Return Power to Voters to Protect Women and Preborn Babies
On April 26, 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court took power from Kansas voters and foundcreateda nearly unlimited right to abortion in our 1859 State Constitution. Prior to this ruling, through widely supported limitations, our states abortion rates had been reduced by 43 percent* since 1999 and partial birth abortions had been completely banned. Essentially, women and their preborn babies have now been abandoned to an unregulated abortion industry.
Because of the Kansas Supreme Courts April 26, 2019, ruling, existing bans on partial-birth and taxpayer-funded abortions are now in danger of being rendered unenforceable. Furthermore, the ruling allows violent live dismemberment abortions to continue and threatens these lifesaving limits:
* Parental consent for minors seeking abortion
* Informed consent, alerting women to potential health risks
* 24-hour waiting period
* Abortion clinic sanitation and safety standards
We can reverse this horrific ruling and allow Kansans to place lifesaving limits on abortion by amending the State Constitution. To do this, we will need the support of a two-thirds majority in both the Kansas House and Senate. From there, voters will weigh in at the ballot box in 2020. A simple majority of votes is all thats necessary once the amendment is on the ballot.

The people of Kansas did elect the Governor, right? Or did a bunch of maniacs from Cali and NY do that?
Second term... Two more SCOTUS picks... The legal, brutal slaughter of children outlawed... Massive riots... The communist herd winnowed substantially...
Actually, Brownbeck did that. People hated him especially because he was pulling funding from schools and leaving people hanging after zero tried to starve everyone to death. If Good jobs had been created first, it would have been ok. But he didn’t do that.
Brownback did what?
