Setting the Record Straight

I saw an advertisement attacking Senator Thompson on abortion. What is Mike's response?

It is disappointing but not surprising that my opponent has resorted to childish and false attacks on this issue. Despite efforts to use this issue as a wedge to divide us, most Kansans share a lot of common ground on this issue.

Most Kansans want no taxpayer funding of abortion, limits on late-term abortion, rigorous health and safety regulations, parental consent for minors, help for women with unexpected pregnancies, and adoption to be more affordable. They also support exceptions in heartbreaking cases like rape, incest, and life of the mother.

I am focused on these common-sense approaches that build a culture of life in Kansas, rather than on divisive proposals that undermine these efforts. Accordingly, I voted against a ban on abortion this year. 

Moreover, the legislature is united in ensuring women receive the emergency care they desperately need for ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and other health complications. Any characterization to the contrary is blatantly false.
 
In addition, here are specific facts countering the false charges in the recent attacks:
 
  • IVF is already protected in Kansas, and there are no efforts to remove those protections.  
  • Kansas has created a variety of reports for decades on a wide range medical and surgical procedures.  These reports are entirely anonymous and voluntary, and any assertion to the contrary is 100% false.
