Why do women make the decision to have an abortion? This is a complex and complicated issue. There is some data available, (see chart). But the passage of HB 2749 is designed to help provide better answers. This new Abortion Reporting Law will require the abortionist to ask each woman why they are having an abortion. Women may decline to answer, but it is hoped this information will allow social service agencies, policymakers and others the information and data they need, so programs and policies can be established to better serve women with unplanned pregnancies.  Also under this new law, data reported by the KDHE will be required twice a year on specific timelines. The House vote saw all Republicans casting a YES vote, except Reps. Schreiber and Younger, and all Democrats voted NO except Rep. Robinson. In the Senate, every Republican voted YES except Senators Doll and McGinn who were not present for the vote.  Every Democrat Senator voted NO, except Senator Holscher, who was not present.
