WASHINGTON – At a signing ceremony in Topeka this afternoon, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act into law. Sponsored by state Rep. Lance Kinzer, the law passed the Kansas House of Representatives 91-30, in February. The state Senate granted approval, 24-15, in late March. The law, modeled after National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) draft language enacted by the Nebraska legislature last year, was a legislative priority for Kansans for Life, NRLC's state affiliate.
