On Wednesday, all fourteen of Kansas’s state appellate court judges will hear<\/a> arguments on the state’s dismemberment abortion ban, a rare proceeding that facilitates a quicker path to the state Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act bans the dilation and excavation (D&E) procedure commonly used in second-trimester abortions, which removes a fetus limb by limb. The law contains exceptions for removing the parts of already-dead babies separately, abortions using only suction without cutting tools, and to save a mother from severe physical risk.<\/p>\n

District Judge Larry Hendricks blocked the law in late June\u00a0following a challenge from a pair of abortionists represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, in a ruling that found a state constitutional right to abortion in addition to the federal protection claimed by Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is appealing the ruling, arguing it poses “significant constitutional gravity” for the future of state abortion law.<\/p>\n

Kansans for Life legislative director Kathy Ostrowski agrees, arguing that Hendricks “invented a state right to abortion” that is critical for the judges to reverse.<\/p>\n

\"dismemberment\"<\/p>\n

As Live Action News has noted<\/a>, abortion defenders often dispute the phrase “dismemberment abortions” as a proper description of D&E procedures, but the pro-choice National Abortion Federation’s own description of D&Es instructs abortionists to “separate” “fetal parts” and “try to identify and keep track of fetal parts as they are removed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
