Kansas Republicans are once again resuming their war against a woman’s right to choose and this time they are targeting abortion clinic employees in a very personal way.

A Kansas House committee passed HB 2253 on Wednesday along party lines, with Republicans pushing the bill through while Democrats opposed it. The bill is a broad spectrum of anti-abortion laws sponsored by GOP state Rep. Lance Kinzer, who is the poster boy for many of the outrageous abortion bills introduced and passed in Kansas these days. Included in the bill are measures declaring that life begins at conception, measures that keep women from deducting the cost of abortion procedures on their tax forms, and measures that affect “information the Kansas Department of Health and Environment distributes on abortion and fetal development,” according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.

But these measures weren’t the ones that Democrats objected to the most. Republicans apparently included a section in the bill that would affect employees of abortion providers in a most personal way. The Capital-Journal reports:

“Much of the debate centered on a portion of the bill that bars anyone associated with an abortion provider from working in a public school. It is meant to prevent districts from contracting with groups like Planned Parenthood to provide sexual education materials.”

1. Here is what was passed:if you work for a place that provides abortions, you can't volunteer in scho

An amendment to fix the outrageous section was offered and passed but only after it was “tweaked to limit it to those who work for abortion providers and volunteer in schools, but not those who volunteer in abortion clinics and work in schools.” In other words, employees of clinics that provide abortion services are banned from volunteering at schools, even if their own children attend the school for which they wish to volunteer.

Fuck that shit. Excuse me, but fuck that shit. I could not volunteer at my kid's school because I worked for an organization or clinic that included an abortion provider? Bull. No one who works for a clinic that in any way any where offers abortions is barred from volunteering at their child's school. Even if they do HIV testing, or mammograms, or even (as a friend did) also do fertility testings and care.

There is no way this will get past the SCOTUS. No fucking way and shame on them for trying to intimidate us like that.

5. Seriously. All they are trying to do is intimidate people. Murder the providers and discriminate

against anyone remotely involved.

in which the woman becomes pregnant ?
