Throughout legislative session, we heard testimony from women who experienced pressure to have abortions, about social conditions that lead women to feel they have no other choice than abortion, and from pregnancy centers that walk with women through any situation. These four veto overrides seek to meet Kansans where they are and save as many lives as possible.  “We saw democracy in action with four bipartisan votes to override Governor ‘Coercion’ Kelly’s vetoes of the following commonsense, life-affirming policies:  Combatting coerced abortions/human trafficking  Tax credits for do ..read more

Friday, April 19th — Governor Laura Kelly’s abortion extremism was on full display today as she vetoed life-affirming tax policies in House Bill 2465.   The governor used her veto pen to block existing resources giving financial relief to families longing to adopt children and support to organizations that assist moms who want to choose life for their babies.  HB 2465 would establish adoption savings accounts and increase tax credits for adoptive families, eliminate the sales tax burden for pregnancy resource centers, and create tax credits for donors to those organizations.&nbs ..read more

“Once again, Governor “Coercion Kelly” has shown how radical she is when it comes to abortion, lacking basic compassion for women who are pushed or even trafficked into abortions. Like in 2023, we call upon the Kansas House and Senate to once again override her heartless vetoes.” The post Kansans for Life Statement regarding Gov. Kelly’s most recent vetoes of Life-Affirming legislation appeared first on Kansans For Life ..read more

Today, Kansans for Life, the state’s leading and largest pro-life organization, released its 2024 legislative agenda. “Now, more than ever, is the time for Kansans to focus on policies that will actually save lives in spite of the Kansas Supreme Court’s extreme 2019 Hodes ruling,” said Mackenzie Haddix, KFL Deputy Director of Communications. “With abortion industry statistics showing exponential increases of up to 20,000 abortions performed in Kansas in 2023, it is clear far too many women are being pushed to believe abortion is their only choice. Our legislative agenda seeks to provide compas ..read more

(November 16, 2023)  Topeka, KS—Attorney General Kris Kobach will be asking the Kansas Court of Appeals to reverse a district court judge’s temporary injunction blocking important informed consent provisions of the Woman’s Right to Know Act.  On October 30, the judge singlehandedly stopped enforcement of protections guaranteed to women by the Woman’s Right to Know Act for over 25 years, leaving them even more vulnerable to a predatory abortion industry.     “We commend the Attorney General for standing against this unprecedented attack on a woman’s right to information and ..read more

Today a Kansas judge singlehandedly blocked protections guaranteed to women by the “Woman’s Right to Know” Act for over 25 years, leaving them even more vulnerable to a predatory abortion industry.   “This is a nightmare for women and a dream come true for the profit-driven abortion industry,” said Danielle Underwood, Communications Director of Kansans for Life. “Women will pay the price for the deceitful practices of the abortion industry that consistently puts its own profits above all else.”  Under this temporary injunction, the following safeguards will no longer be in place ..read more

(August 2, 2023) – Just one year exposed the sad truth. The last 12 months proved supporters of the Value Them Both Amendment correct and unmasked the lies of the profit-driven abortion industry. Despite their claims that a “no” vote on the amendment would keep all existing pro-life regulations in place—which received little to no “fact-checking” from the media—abortionists quickly pivoted to continue removing even basic protections for both women and preborn babies. clinic sanitation and licensing standards limits on live dismemberment abortion in-person doctor requirements informed consent ..read more

The U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision empowered the people of most states to work toward consensus about abortion limits through their democratic process, but not Kansas. Here, an extreme 2019 state court ruling put us on a path toward unlimited abortions. As we predicted, since then the abortion industry has quickly ramped up efforts to remove our most basic safeguards for women and preborn babies, like informed consent and measures to protect a woman from being forced to abort her child.   We will continue to work for a day the Sunflower State is a place that empowers women and gives ..read more
