The Kansas Supreme Court is considering how far the state can go in restricting abortion after a decisive statewide vote last year confirming that the state constitution protects abortion rights
“The court was clear before, and they did a really comprehensive analysis of the state constitution,” said Emily Wales, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which operates three of Kansas' six clinics that provide abortions.The 2019 state Supreme Court ruling came in the early stages of the lawsuit over the ban on the second-trimester procedure. The justices kept the law on hold but sent the case back to the trial court to examine the ban further.
A D&E procedure ban would force providers to use alternative methods that the Center for Reproductive Rights, an abortion rights advocate, has said are riskier for the patient and more expensive. “The court needs to be objective and they need to do what they need to do,” said state Rep. Stephanie Clayton, a Kansas City-area Democrat. “But obviously, I hope that we have victories for privacy and bodily autonomy and choice in the state.”
