Kansans for Life call for removing abortion education amendment
8:11 a.m. Monday, April 10, 2006
The state's largest anti-abortion group is backing off on a proposal to require abortion education in Kansas classrooms.
Kansans for Life reported in a news release this weekend that it wants to make a current bill non-controversial by removing a proposal to educate Kansas students about abortion procedures.
Right now, lawmakers are considering an amendment that would require schools to add descriptions on all methods of abortion, when offering pregnancy-related instruction. That information was to include the probable physical sensations or pain a fetus feels.
The bill would also require more detailed reporting when doctors submit records on abortions to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Opponents say the bill is just a way to add more burdens to doctors and clinics.
