Kansas' top court rejects 2 anti-abortion laws, bolstering state right to abortion access

[d0gbreath]

TRANSLATION: Abortion is a non-issue.

It might actually show a presence on 11/5.

The states were given the right to make the decision on abortion and Kansas did. I have no problem with this.

Reproductive rights defenders on Friday cheered a pair of Kansas Supreme Court decisions reaffirming the right to abortion and striking down various restrictions—rulings expected to impact people beyond the Midwestern state, given how many patients must now travel for care.

The justice wrote Friday that "S.B. 95 does not further patient safety, it compromises patient safety," noting that "as the district court found and the state did not contest, S.B. 95 eliminates a safe and common medical procedure and leaves patients subject to procedures that are rarely used, are untested, and are sometimes more dangerous or impossible."

The court's other new ruling was about what critics call targeted restrictions on abortion providers (TRAP) policies. Both decisions were 5-1—with Justice Stegall Caleb dissenting and Justice K.J. Wall not participating—and followed Kansas voters rejecting a proposed anti-choice amendment to the state constitution in August 2022.

"Now the Kansas Supreme Court has decisively reaffirmed that the state constitution protects abortion as a fundamental right."

Hows all that winning working out for you Heritage Foundation?

It’s great! Back when Dobbs was decided everyone was all up in their air “abortion bans nationwide” they exclaimed! I said “give it a bit and the people will make their states decide what they want”, and lo and behold, look what’s happening…states are deciding.

Now, don’t you think states rights is better than letting the courts decide it? It COULD be a nationwide ban, if left to the scotus..instead they said “we don’t want this power, let the states decide”. And now states are starting to listen to their voters..

It seems that the same flawed logic used in the Roe v. Wade is once again rearing its ugly head. In that decision, the US Supreme Court found that States could not restrict an abortion if that procedure was safer than going ahead with a full term pregnancy. However, the Court also found that States could restrict abortions after the point of fetal viability.

As late abortions became safer and fetal viability became earlier, this lead to the later observation by Justice O'Connor that the decision was "on a collision course with itself." This inherent contradiction resulted in the de facto legalization of all abortions up to the point of birth in the delivery room.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court eventually reversed this flawed decision. Unfortunately, the Kansas Supreme Court has once again elevated the safety of an abortion procedure over the rights of a viable human fetus waiting to escape its biological bondage within a maternal host. Apparently, it was not inclined to reconsider its previous decision made before Roe v. Wade was thrown out.

Trump's lover, Kim Jong Un, is famous for claiming he has a cure for cancer, AIDS, and Ebola.

Kim is more of a modern dance stile while trump prefers the jerking two dicks at the same time style. Similarly, trump claims he is the only reason the covid vaccine was developed, and he constantly brags about his golf score, even though those who play with him say he cheats "like a mafia accountant" They are so similar. I'm just wondering if, like Kim, trump has no butthole.

The ban was upheld by the Supreme Court because of the parameters created by RvW. RvW gone, the ban is gone.

Proof is right here in this thread.

We overturned RvW but once again allowed late term abortions.

I am not sure of your point. Overturning Roe v Wade hasn't increased access to late term abortions. It is my understanding that restricting late term abortions wasn't mandated under Roe v Wade. States had the right to restrict late term abortions, or not, just as they do now. I could be wrong. If you are suggesting overturning Roe v Wade is not enough, then I am with you.

If you don't think that overturning RvW hasn't increased access to late term abortions, you didn't read the article.

Either that or you are ignorant on the entire subject.

‘Kansas' highest court on Friday struck down state laws regulating abortion providers more strictly than other health care professionals and banning a common second-trimester procedure, reaffirming its stance that the state constitution protects abortion access.

The Kansas Supreme Court's 5-1 rulings in two separate cases signal that the state's Republican-controlled Legislature faces stricter limits on regulating abortion than GOP lawmakers thought and suggests other restrictions could fall. Lawsuits in lower state courts already are challenging restrictions on medication abortions, a ban on doctors using teleconferences to meet with patients, rules for what doctors must tell patients before an abortion and a requirement that patients wait 24 hours after receiving information about a procedure to terminate their pregnancies.

"We stand by our conclusion that section 1 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights protects a fundamental right to personal autonomy, which includes a pregnant person's right to terminate a pregnancy," Justice Eric Rosen wrote for the majority in overturning the ban on dilation and evacuation, also known as D&E.’

Kansas' top court rejects 2 anti-abortion laws, bolstering state right to abortion access

Kansas declared in 2019 that abortion access is a "fundamental" right under the state's constitution.

www.cbsnews.com

A victory for individual liberty; a defeat for the authoritarian right.

The only authoritarian law on the books in Kansas now is State compelled child support.

If women don’t take the legal step to terminate a pregnancy, she should not expect support for her decision.

I read the article. I still don't understand your point. What part of Roe v Wade prevented late term abortions?

It is explained in this thread. Read it.

We were successful in having that banned nationwide.

How did overturning Roe v Wade ban late term abortions? That is my question.

I never said it did ban them. I said it allowed them.
