HB2789

Kansas HB2789 criminalizes all abortions and removes exceptions to wrongful death claims for unborn children.

Kansas HB2789, known as the "abolish abortion Kansas act," makes all abortions subject to criminal prosecution and removes certain exceptions to wrongful death claims for the death of an unborn child. The act amends existing statutes to redefine "person" and "human being" to include an unborn child at any stage of development. It also subjects enforcement of these provisions to the same due process protections as if the victim were a born person. The act takes effect from its publication in the statute book.
