About 25 college students from across Kansas lobbied legislators Monday against imposing stricter abortion regulations.
The students met with national organizers from Choice USA and Planned Parenthood at a building near the Statehouse before fanning out to meet with lawmakers. They say their goal was to make sure their voices are heard in a building dominated by conservative Republicans.
The activists and students oppose a bill in the Legislature banning the use of state funds for abortions. They contend it would limit access to reproductive health services.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lance Kinzer, a conservative Olathe Republican who strongly opposes abortion, says he expects the bill dealing with indirect taxpayer subsidies of abortion to be introduced in the House this week.
