A decision by the Kansas Supreme Court on Friday means that even if Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortions would stay legal in the state.
In the nearly 200-page landmark ruling, the court blocked a 2015 state law that aimed to restrict a common second-trimester abortion procedure and held that the Kansas Constitution protects a woman’s right to an abortion. The Washington Post, NPR and CBS News are among news outlets that have reports.
