Planned Parenthood Advocates of Kansas and Mid-Missouri
The Kansas Legislature is at it again!
Join us next Wednesday for a hearing on HB 2253 -- the "Omnibus Bill" This bill is a monster in every sense of the word. Among other provisions, it would mandate physicians provide medically inaccurate information to patients, including that abortion is linked to breast cancer, EVEN THOUGH medical authorities have repeatedly refuted such a claim.

(Planned Parenthood email excerpt)
For the past two years, Governor Brownback has signed laws attempting to strip Planned Parenthood of Federal Title X funds used to provide a range of reproductive and life-saving health care services. Last year, Governor Brownback signed a law that allows your doctor or pharmacist to deny you birth control.
The attacks aren’t slowing down. Weeks into the 2013 Legislative Session, they’re at it again.
On the docket this session is more than 90 pages of anti-abortion legislation. Next Wednesday, February 20, there will be a hearing on one of those bills – HB 2253, the 70-page “Omnibus Bill.”
This massive bill creates more than 12 new taxes on women and families in Kansas and has more than 40 provisions, including:
1) Creates a “personhood trigger.” This means that if the Supreme Court gives the power to decide the legality of abortion to the states, abortion and certain forms of birth control will be automatically and immediately illegal in Kansas. No exceptions.
2) Requires physicians to provide medically inaccurate information to patients, including “abortion causes breast cancer and future miscarriages,” even though both claims have been proven false by every credible medical authority.
3) Creates a sales tax on abortion and on insurance plans that include abortion coverage.
Planned Parenthood believes that a woman, in consultation with her family, her faith and her health care provider – NOT politicians – should make her own health care decisions. We believe that all people should have access to affordable, quality health care, and we believe that Kansas women and families – not Governor Brownback or the Kansas Legislature – must have the freedom, knowledge and opportunity to make their own health care decisions.
