As the Kansas Legislature condemns a New York law strengthening abortion rights, one lawmaker is sharing the story of her own abortion.

“Colleagues, I have had an abortion and it saved my life, and it saved my health and enabled me to go on to have another healthy child,” Rep. Elizabeth Bishop, a Wichita Democrat, told lawmakers Tuesday.

Kansas lawmakers advanced a resolution condemning a New York law that permits late-term abortions when a woman’s health is endangered and authorizes physician assistants to perform some abortions.

Kansas is the first state in which both legislative chambers have voted to condemn the New York law, according to the Family Policy Alliance of Kansas, which supports the resolution.

3. Apparently Kansas legislators are very concerned

Not enough women in New York are going to die in childbirth. Kansas needs to pick up the slack!
