Kansas Court to Define Life
ASSOCIATED PRESS, March 21 — The Kansas House voted 70-50 to direct the attorney general's office to file a lawsuit asking the Kansas Supreme Court to make the declaration that life begins at conception.
Pro-lifers hope the court will rule that an unborn child is enTITLEd to protections provided by the Kansas Constitution, including the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
“This is a direct attack on Roe v. Wade,” said Rep. Rick Rehorn, a pro-abortion Democrat.
Under state law, the attorney general must raise questions of constitutional law with the court when ordered to do so by either chamber of the Legislature. The Senate doesn't have to vote on the issue.
