Kansas Supreme Court Rules State Constitution Protects Right To Abortion

The Kansas Constitution protects a woman's right to an abortion, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday. The landmark ruling now stands as the law of the land in Kansas with no path for an appeal. Because it turns on the state's Constitution, abortion would remain legal in Kansas even if the Roe v. Wade case that established a national right to abortion is ever reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.--
