Governor celebrates signing of abortion laws

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Gov. Sam Brownback declared Tuesday that Kansas has established “life as sacred and beautiful” with new laws requiring doctors to get written permission from parents before performing abortions on minors and tightening restrictions on procedures after the 21st week of pregnancy based on disputed claims that fetuses can feel pain.

The Republican governor signed the parental consent legislation surrounded by legislators who supported it and leaders of anti-abortion groups. His action came four days after he signed the fetal pain measure, and he used the signing ceremony at the Statehouse to celebrate the enactment of both laws.
