TOPEKA, Kansas (LifeSiteNews) – The Kansas House voted in favor of a born-alive bill this week with a veto-proof majority.
The House approved an amended version of H.B. 2313 with a bipartisan 86-36 vote Tuesday. The vote comes after the Kansas state Senate voted 31-9 for an amended version of the initial House legislation late last month. The bill now goes to the desk of far-left Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly, who vetoed similar legislation in 2019, the Associated Press reported.

According to the provisions of the bill, doctors and healthcare workers present at any birth resulting from a failed abortion must immediately provide health care to the baby. The bill also requires that records should be kept of all births resulting from failed abortions, including induced births.
UPDATE (03/07/23): Walgreens won’t dispense abortion pills in 20 states
The pressure is paying off. Walgreens’ plan to dispense abortion pills nationwide is now in tatters, with the pharmaceutical giant announcing that it won’t mail the pills to, or sell them within, 20 states.
The news comes after 20 Republican attorneys general warned CVS and Walgreens that doing so would be in violation of federal law and that they were opening themselves to penalties.
But we can’t rest on our laurels with this boycott: Walgreens and CVS will only listen to us when their profits are threatened — we need a HUGE boycott so that blood money they get from selling abortion pills is dwarfed by the profits they lose when pro-life America shops elsewhere.
Even Politico admitted in its reporting that “pressure” from pro-life voters like you helped change Walgreens’ plans, so now we’re asking you to take the next step: simply share this petition with your friends and ask them to join the boycott.
Thank you!

Walgreens and CVS will begin selling mifepristone — a powerful chemical that kills unborn children in the womb — if pro-life America does not ACT NOW.
Pro-life Americans MUST STOP the widespread sale and distribution of mifepristone by sending a message that only big-box stores will understand: A NATIONAL BOYCOTT OF WALGREENS AND CVS.
Walgreens and CVS are the newest back-door channels for the pro-abortion movement, now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
Will you act now to STOP abortion drugs from reaching your pharmacy?
Our work in the pro-life movement is FAR from over, especially now that Walgreens and CVS have chosen to push deadly drugs in their stores and in our communities!
SIGN and SEND a message to Walgreens and CVS! This is completely unacceptable!
We must stop abortion from reaching our pharmacies and stop the abortion industry from poisoning our communities — before it’s too late.
These big-box stores respond only to profit. The pro-life movement must enact a national boycott if the abortion industry dares flood our neighborhoods!
SIGN and SEND a strong message to Walgreens and CVS: unless they immediately reverse course, the entire pro-life movement will BOYCOTT their stores!
SIGN NOW and send a clear message!

The bill further states that healthcare providers who violate its provisions could be subject to felony charges. The bill also allows for the mothers of babies that died as a result of health care providers’ actions resulting in the failed abortion, as well as the parents or guardians of a minor whose child died in the same circumstance, to file lawsuits against the abortion provider.
The bill marked the first abortion-related debate in the Kansas legislature after a referendum last August that rejected a pro-life amendment to the state constitution. The amendment was meant to override a judgment of the Kansas Supreme Court, which in 2019 ruled that there is a “right” to abortion under the state constitution.
