Proposed Kansas Abortion Ban Blocked By Abortion Foe
A leading anti-abortion legislator is blocking a push to enact a constitutional amendment that would ban on abortion in Kansas.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lance Kinzer’s decision highlights a split among abortion opponents over tactics, and it frustrated the group advocating the “personhood” proposal.
Kinzer, an Olathe Republican, said Friday he won’t have a Judiciary Committee hearing on the proposed constitutional amendment, which is sponsored by 25 fellow House members.
He said he doesn’t believe the proposed constitutional amendment would withstand a court challenge and could lead to a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could hamper abortion opponents’ attempts to enact new restrictions.
But the Personhood Kansas Committee, the Wichita-area group promoting the proposed amendment, strongly disagrees. Chairman Bruce Garren said he’s surprised Kinzer won’t agree to a hearing.
I thought our legislators were supposed to be concerned with JOBS.
Steve the only jobs they care about are their own!
Then they better start concerning themselves with ways to bring jobs to Kansas for the public, or they might just find themselves out of a job.
Boot them out…….they are wasting resources that could be used on the job problems in Kansas….they are not focused on issues that affect the majority of Kansas citizens….
