A Kansas proposal based on the disputed idea that providers leave newborns to die after unsuccessful abortions is nearing legislative approval.
a proposed change to the state constitution to overturn that decision and give lawmakers the power to greatly restrict or ban abortion.
House passage would send the measure to the Senate, where GOP leaders have also signaled they see it as a priority. Abortion providers and abortion rights advocates have said it's rare for an abortion to result in a live birth, and measures like the ones in Kansas and Montana are designed only to give abortion care a false and negative public image.
Opponents of the bill also argued that current state laws against homicide and child neglect, as well as laws on doctors’ duties, are sufficient to cover the kind of cases described by supporters. But supporters of the Kansas bill said that wasn't so, because parents would be allowed to stay with their newborns as they went to the hospital and when they were there. State Rep. Leah Howell, a Wichita-area Republican, said she had a baby die in the 20th week of pregnancy.
