John,

A bill to outlaw abortion even in the cases of rape, incest, or when the parent's life is in danger has passed both chambers of the Kansas Legislature. This bill to amend the Kansas Constitution will be voted on by the public in 2022. In Kansas, reproductive rights are in jeopardy.

In Friday's KC Star, o bstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Mae Winchester wrote:

'As a high-risk obstetrician, my heart fell when I learned late last month that the Legislature voted to place a flawed and dangerous constitutional amendment that could remove Kansans’ right to abortion on the 2022 primary ballot.

The same week this bill was introduced, I cared for a kind, young family, whom I will call Jane and John. Jane was pregnant with her and John’s first baby, and they were over the moon. But unfortunately, the fetus has a severe condition called Trisomy 13, a genetic condition associated with severe birth defects and significant intellectual disability. Median life expectancy with Trisomy 13 is just seven to 10 days, and very few babies with this condition live past their first year of life. When they do survive, they require ventilators, feeding tubes, corrective surgeries and frequent visits to the hospital. Because of the abnormal pregnancy, complications for the mother — including her possible death — increase when the fetus is affected by this condition. There is no cure for Trisomy 13.'

We must hold these delusional politicians who want to turn back the clock on reproductive rights accountable. Can you rush a donation to the KDP to help us build a democratic infrastructure across Kansas that will vote them out in 2022? [[link removed]]



Onwards,
