Kansas HB2171 aims to criminalize all abortions and remove exceptions for wrongful death actions related to unborn children.
Kansas HB2171, also known as the "abolish abortion Kansas act," seeks to make all abortions subject to criminal prosecution under Alexa's law. It removes certain exceptions to the cause of action for the wrongful death of an unborn child when the death is caused by an abortion. The bill amends existing statutes to redefine "person" and "human being" to include an unborn child at any stage of gestation. It also repeals provisions that permit prenatal homicide and battery, ensuring that all preborn children are protected with the same criminal and civil laws as born persons.
