The 2011 law requires abortionists to prescribe the drug in person. This ensures that the abortionist is in a position to verify that the gestational age of the child is within the range where the abortion pill is considered "safe" and "effective." It would also allow the abortionist to check for any abnormal pregnancy conditions, such as ectopic pregnancy. If a woman with an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy attempts the abortion pill regimen, she is likely to experience severe injuries.
“We’re sickened to watch another commonsense abortion limit be blocked by a judge after a law was challenged by the abortion industry, which consistently puts its own profits and convenience ahead of women’s health and safety,” said Jeanne Gawdun, Kansans for Life (KFL) Director of Government Relations.
Gawdun accused Watson of issuing the injunction the day before Thanksgiving to "quietly slip the latest loosening of abortion industry regulations past Kansans preoccupied with holiday preparations."
“The Value Them Both Amendment was written to keep broadly supported limits like this in place,” Gawdun continued. “The amendment failed to pass after the abortion industry and its allies mounted an out-of-state funded disinformation campaign to convince voters that abortion was already “heavily regulated” in Kansas and would remain so after a “no” vote. They lied. Last Wednesday’s ruling confirms that every existing abortion limit can now be blocked or struck down due to the extreme 2019 Hodes ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court.”
