Hailed by pro-lifers as America\u2019s first dismemberment abortion ban, the law was <a href=\"\/news\/breaking-kansas-passes-nations-first-abortion-dismemberment-ban\/\">enacted in April<\/a> to end what a spokesman for Governor Sam Brownback calls a \u201chorrific procedure.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights sued the state, claiming the law would limit women to riskier methods of abortion, even though only 9 percent of Kansas abortions were D&amp;E procedures last year. The state\u2019s attorneys have argued that because the ban only applies to dismembering live babies and allows removing an already-dead fetus\u2019 limbs separately, it should not be difficult for abortionists to comply.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Hendricks has not yet officially ruled on the merits of the law, though his declarations that the Kansas state constitution contains a right to abortion and that alternatives to D&amp;E \u201cdo not appear to be medically necessary or reasonable\u201d suggest he may lean against it. This would set the stage for a federal appeals court decision, and potentially a consideration by the United States Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>A week after the enactment of the Kansas law, Oklahoma <a href=\"\/news\/oklahoma-becomes-second-state-ban-dismemberment-abortions\/\">became the second state<\/a> to pass a dismemberment abortion ban.
