Kansas Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions

“The Kansas Supreme Court struck down a series of abortion rules and restrictions on Friday in twin opinions affirming its landmark decision that the state constitution protects the right to end a pregnancy,” the Wichita Eagle reports.

“The rulings delivered a stinging but expected blow to anti-abortion activists and Republicans, who for years sought to steadily chip away at access. The opinion built upon the court’s key 2019 decision, which upheld the right to an abortion under a broader guarantee of bodily autonomy.”
