Setting the Record Straight

It is disappointing but not surprising that the negative and false attacks have already begun. 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.
