Kansas abortion providers will have to ask patients why they are eliminating pregnancy under law critics, arguing that “upset, intimidation and shame” represents the efforts of abortion seekers.
The Kansas House Committee on Wednesday heard from anti-miscarriage groups-they argued to collect data on abortion patients, allow policy makers to set up programs for those who are pregnant-and abortion rights groups that questioned the objectives behind the bill.

“If the true option is actually present, every woman must have the opportunity to examine all her options,” said, “McKenji Hedix said, the spokesperson of the Consensus for Life, saying that” there is “real information that helps us gain better understanding why women are choosing abortion.”
The laws requested by Conscience for Life will require patients to rank their top causes to demand abortion, such as financial difficulty, pregnancy threat to health by pregnancy, or rape or incest pregnancy.
Providers will also have to collect demographic information, including age, breed, marital status, country or residence, highest level of education, educational attainment, and whether the patient has reported domestic violence, is a safe place to get financial assistance from an organization or receive financial assistance from an organization that supports individuals during pregnancy. Even if a patient refused to answer why they sought an abortion, the provider would need to record this and their demographic information.
The bill requires that the data be confidential and will also apply to minors.
“Consumns have made it clear that they do not want politicians in their examination halls,” Taylor Morton, the votes of the employed paternity, said, “August 2022 referred to the huge rejection of Kansas voters, which would have removed the right to abortion from the Constitution.
All the laws will do, he said, the relationship between patients and health care providers is weakened. He said that “there is no reason for the state to demand and collect this deep personal information from patients.”
He said, “Literally there are no patients looking for any other form of essential health care and will not be subject to such infiltration and personal inquiries,” he said, “nor pregnant people are subject to such a question when they decide to end pregnancy.”
The law was met with suspicion from several MPs on the House Committee on Health and Human Services, including Rape Nikki McDonald, D-Olathe, who told a proposer of the law from Alliance Defending Freedom, who will oppose the forcing women for disclosure information, based on the name of their organization. “
The proponent, Erica Steinamiller-Pardomo stated that the law “rationally relates to promoting the state’s interests in public health and welfare” and the organization “supports the policies that promote maternal health and safety”.
McDonald’s raised the issue with the comments of the Steinamiller-Pardomo, arguing that he said the abortion is insecure.
“Abortion is a routine, a safe medical process, and when you keep on bringing maternal health, I think it’s a little dissatisfied,” McDonald’s said.
Rape. Stephanie Clayton, D-Overland Park, questioned how to protect patients’ secrecy if they publicly reported domestic violence or rape in the report released. If a child wants abortion after rape, he asked, and many such incidents have not been told every year, can anyone connect and identify them?
“If someone is a victim of that terrible crime as a child, they should be able to do weeks’ treatment and heal and live a full, adult life because they were victims of a crime,” Clayton said.
Haddix could not answer the question and asked to follow with Clayton.

Amber Sellers, director of advocacy for the Trust Women Foundation, argued that the law would be unnecessarily burden.
The vendors said that the right to abortion does not require much justification than the right to free speech.
“These questions are misleading, and they are tarnished,” the vendors said. “They lack relevance, and they are medically unnecessary. They are deeply aggressive.”
The committee’s chair, the rape Branda Landehar, R-Vichita, argued that it was important to collect information because a patient could seek abortion “because he does not know that he has any other option.”
Some patients “do not think about that life twice,” said Landveer. Other people may be upset to learn that there may be another option.
The vendors said that we cannot speak MPs and advocates to bring anyone for abortion “and we cannot make perception on what we do or not.”
“I was one of those women,” said Landehar, “and I had gone to that clinic and it was informed that there were options, I would not have had my abortion. So I can talk about it.”
Landvehar said, if possible, it will ban abortion in any case, where the mother’s life is threatened or pregnancy results from rape or incest.
Vendors said that policy makers cannot talk to every abortion patient’s inspiration or knowledge. He said that care had changed a lot in decades since Landehar’s abortion. The provider now provides “overall” and “comprehensive care”.
“We don’t know all the views,” the vendors said, “and we cannot make those perceptions for all.”
