State official to enforce abortion regulations | CJOnline.com: Kansas’ top public health official said Monday that his office will require abortion providers to give the state more details about late-term procedures they perform. Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser told The Associated Press that his department’s interpretation of a law requiring physicians to file reports on each late-term abortion after they are performed is different than how the law has been enforced in the past.
Moser said doctors must spell out the medical reasons for aborting a viable fetus after the 21st week of pregnancy. The law permits those abortions only when the mother’s life is in danger or she faces major, permanent harm to her physical or mental health.
