Half of Kansas abortions on visitors, especially late term abortions
Lawrence Journal World reports:
They come from far as California, Maine and even Alaska. But mostly they just cross over the state line from Missouri.
Data recently released by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment show that last year was no different. Of the 10,836 abortions done in Kansas in 2007, 5,162 (about 48 percent) were performed on women who lived outside of the state . . .
In 2007, as in years past, abortions performed past 22 weeks of pregnancy made up a small percentage of Kansas’ overall total, less than 4 percent. Yet more than 90 percent of the women getting late-term abortions were from outside Kansas.
