| In protest of the governor's support for a far-reaching anti-abortion bill, Kansas women have taken to GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's Facebook page to criticize his position. The postings mocked Brownback's seemingly excessive interest in his neighbors' reproductive and sexual health lives by addressing him as a women's health expert: He's vowed to sign into law the onerous "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" -- a bill he freely admits that he has not read -- that would permit doctors to withhold information from patients, force women to hear the fetal heartbeat prior to an abortion procedure, and contains the absolutely bananas provision that would require doctors to lie to women by telling them that abortions would increase the risk of breast cancer. |
