NATION IN BRIEF : KANSAS : Stricter Abortion Curbs Proposed
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Gov. Mike Hayden proposed curbs on late-term abortions and called for a requirement that girls under 16 notify at least one parent before terminating a pregnancy. The proposed changes in Kansas’ relatively liberal abortion law do not go nearly as far as those expected to be offered by anti-abortion activists after the Legislature convenes Jan. 8. Kansas law bans the use of public funds for abortions but otherwise allows abortion virtually on demand.
