Friends, Last year, the Kansas Supreme Court dropped a bomb on decades of pro-life gains in Kansas when they somehow “discovered” a limitless right to abortion in the Kansas Constitution.

Late last week, just as the legislature was concluding business before going into their April recess – the abortion pill reversal bill finally came out of the conference committee and was passed by both the House and the Senate.

Earlier this week, the Kansas House passed Abortion Pill Reversal 85-38 – a bill that ensures that women have the relevant information about the possibility of reversing a chemical abortion. Statesmen Academy alum Emil Bergquist carried the bill on the floor. He spoke persuasively about the need to update our informed consent laws to ensure
Dear Friends, Last week, the KS House passed a resolution condemning New York’s horrific abortion law, 85-35. However, what should have been a simple victory, especially in a state like Kansas, came after three hours of debate and the introduction of eight completely unrelated amendments.
