Letter to the editor – July 14, 2022

Dear editor,

Kansas Republicans introduced HB2746 back on March 29, 2022 to ban abortions from time of conception. The bill died in committee because abortion is currently protected in the Kansas Constitution. They listed only three exceptions in the bill when an abortion would not be a crime:

1. Save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child.

2. Remove a deceased, unborn child whose death was caused by spontaneous miscarriage or stillbirth, or

3. Terminate an ectopic pregnancy that seriously threatens the life of the mother when a reasonable alternative to save the lives of both the mother and the unborn child is unavailable.
