Kansas Supreme Court faces historic case
Will activist justices rule our Constitution
supports DISMEMBERMENT ABORTION?
Would a judge block a law named “Child Protection from
Dismemberment”? Never!
But Kansas judges are blocking a 2015 law named the “Unborn
Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act.
That’s how far out of whack activist courts have come. Add
“unborn” and “abortion” and suddenly the brutal, barbaric act of
tearing a tiny human being apart—while still ALIVE—is ‘justified’
by claims of a never-before-recognized state right to abortion.
And the abortion-favoring Kansas Supreme Court must now rule on whether the words “right to life” in
our state 1859 state Constitution really mean what they say; or, whether some legal nonsense will be
issued that the right to life has “evolved” to really mean the right to woman’s “self-determination,”
propped up by the abortionist’s right to savagely shred unborn children.
Amazingly, that’s the pro-abortion non-logic of Kansas Court of Appeals Judge G. Gordon Atcheson. He
wrote 38 pages in a January 2016 ruling that he hopes will be the next script for the Kansas Supreme
Court when they rule on a crucial case they have stalled for over a year: whether SB 95 [the Unborn
Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act] was improperly stopped from going into effect.
The law was indeed improperly blocked by a liberal state judge, Larry Hendricks, whose ruling was

upheld by an evenly divided Court of Appeals in a rare, full court ruling;
cited by another activist state judge, Franklin Theis, as further excuse for him to continue to
block a 2011 pro-life law that regulates abortion clinics;
appealed by our pro-life Attorney General to the Kansas Supreme Court.
All of Kansas’ pro-life laws stand to be undermined if four members of the Kansas Supreme Court
decide that our 1859 state Constitution guarantee of the “right to life” actually protects abortion.
THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED THREAT TO THE RULE OF LAW,
AS WELL AS TO THE KANSAS PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
The U.S. Supreme Court has seven-out-of-seven times overturned the decisions of the current Kansas
Supreme Court when they attempted to legislate from the bench (these rulings did not including new
Justice Caleb Stegall). SB 95 would assuredly be upheld in the federal courts. Abortionists know that,
which is why they want a new, broader state right to abortion declared by the Kansas Supreme Court.
It is crucial that voters oust activist judges from the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals and retain
only those judges committed to restraint and careful evaluation of the actual constitutionality of laws.
