Enacting the abolish abortion Kansas act to make all abortions subject to criminal prosecution and removing certain exceptions to wrongful death cause of action for the death of an unborn child.

This bill would make abortion a criminal offense in Kansas by amending state laws to define an unborn child as a person from fertilization to birth, subjecting all abortions to criminal prosecution. It directly affects pregnant individuals, medical providers, and anyone who aids or advises on obtaining an abortion, while including exceptions for spontaneous miscarriages and life-saving medical procedures. The legislation also expands wrongful death claims to include unborn children, allowing families to seek damages if an abortion causes fetal death, with protections for mothers against being pressured into procedures. These changes would take effect on July 1, 2026, and apply only to conduct occurring after that date.
