MODERATORS
 

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

“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 a certain type of dilation and evacuation, also known as D&E.

In striking down the law on clinic regulations, the panel found that the state had failed to meet “its evidentiary burden to show the Challenged Laws further its interests in protection of maternal health and regulation of the medical profession as it relates to maternal health.”

It makes me so angry to watch conservatives cite “maternal health“ in their cases.

Then brace yourself for what is coming along with Project 2025... hard times are ahead for those who value Truth over Authority.

It blows my mind that there are people here that want you to not vote against this shit.

Some of them think that this is how the glorious revolution happens and they don't care how many die for it, especially since they rarely think that they might be one of them.

It reminds me of post-Brexit when many British people found out they couldn't just hop on a plane and go stay in Spain for 6 months of the year.

"We were always able to before. Why not now?"

"It will never happen to me" seems to be a big blind spot a lot of people have.

The court’s dissenting justice, widely seen as its most conservative, warned that Kansas is headed toward “a legal regime of unrestricted access to abortion.”

Fucking good. Health care should not be restricted based on anyone's religious or political ideologies.

That’s awesome, I thought the GOP would win in my home state in regards to furthering their baseless attacks on abortion rights. I’m happy that they were rebuffed this time.

I have to wonder how neighboring states will handle 50% of their women emigrating to Kansas? I mean if you're that close to a state whose judiciary is actually working like it's supposed to, why not move?

They'll be safe in the knowledge that all the houses and apartments in Shawnee Mission are occupied.

The next revolution is going to be lead by women on the fediverse, mark my words.
