New laws threaten access to abortions in Kansas
Although abortions are legal in the state of Kansas, they may not be accessible beginning July 1 because of strict inspections of Kansas abortion clinics.
Aid for Women, in Kansas City, Kan., already has a revoked license that takes affect Thursday.
The state’s new abortion clinic policy has stirred up controversy for pro-choice advocates. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the room where the abortion is performed has to be between 68 and 73 degrees and needs to be 150 square feet, that includes fixed cabinets that comes with a janitor’s closet of at least 50 square feet. The provider must keep 13 types of drugs on hand and have blood pressure cuffs available, among some other requirements. The patients also must remain in the recovery room for two hours after the procedure. These specific requirements do not apply to regular hospitals and surgical clinics.
Gov. Sam Brownback said the law was enacted to provide a safe environment for women at these clinics. Others disagree.
M. Jeffrey Pederson, office manager and CEO of Aid for Women, is outraged about the new law.
“It is like saying, ‘Yes, you can drive, but only a Lamborghini is allowed.’ It would be nice to have an ultra-luxurious hospital-like setting,” he said.
Aid For Women is the first to have its license revoked under the new law. Among other things, the tile on its floor and the size of the recovery area did not meet state requirements.
Aid for Women is the smallest of the three abortion clinics in Kansas, and do not have the resources to adhere to the new regulations, Pederson said.
“With this new regulation, one-third of our clinic would be devoted to recovery,” Pederson said.
He also said he expects the other clinics to fail inspection as well.
“If women in Kansas want abortions, they’re going to have to drive to Omaha, Denver, Tulsa or St. Louis.”
Pro-life advocates think the new law will provide a safe environment for women. Joe Viviano, vice-president of Students for Life at KU, supports the new law.
“I think (Gov. Brownback) has a very strong concern for women,” Viviano said. “There is a concern for the nature of abortion clinics. Hospitals don’t have a history of violating regulations. In clinics, there are untrained staff and unsterilized equipment in use.”
Earlier this year, Kansas doctor Herbert Hodes, who performs abortions, said there were five deaths in the past five years due to abortions. He retracted his statement, but Kansas Healing Arts Board-licensed abortionists said there were five deaths, although three did not occur on Kansas soil.
