The odd measures were part of the Women’s Right to Know Act, which the judge called “a thinly veiled effort to stigmatize the procedure.'
In an important victory for abortion access in the Midwest, a Kansas judge ruled against a handful of stringent anti-abortion measures—some of which trace back decades under the insidiously named Women’s Right to Know Act while others were passed after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
Ever since the state Supreme Court interpreted the Kansas state constitution’s right to bodily autonomy to include abortion in 2019, the state constitution recognizes the right to abortion. Last August, Kansas voters overwhelmingly voted to uphold this right in a special election over a ballot measure that was written by abortion rights opponents seeking to eliminate this constitutional protection and enact an abortion ban.
