2008 Kansas Abortions

I thought I’d bring to light some of the numbers (lives) of Kansas Abortions just for 2008.

These numbers can be found in the Abortions in Kansas report for 2008 produced by the Kansas Department of Health & Environment

How our society can categorize abortion under the Department of Health and Environment is beyond me, considering they won’t hold abortion clinics to the same health standards in Kansas as any other health clinics where you see a doctor for shots and check-ups.

• In 2008 there were 10,642 abortions performed in the State of Kansas
• 5131 were performed on women who were not residents of Kansas. (Get that? Almost half of the women who received abortions in Kansas were not Kansas residents) (Did their contraception not work?)
• 1769 abortions were performed on Married women. (Did their contraception not work?)
• 323 abortions were performed on children with 22 weeks of gestation or more. (yet it’s against the law to kill a baby that is viable outside the womb, your telling me all 323 of these babies were not viable?)
• 10 abortions were performed on women who refused to state how many weeks of gestation their baby was (how sad)
• According to the report no Partial Birth Abortions procedures have been used in Kansas since 1999 (Dr. Tiller’s method was to inject digoxin in the babies while in uetro in order to stop their heart and then to be later delivered dead)
• 6455 abortions occurred on babies who had living siblings (I wonder if their brothers and sisters will ever know there younger sibling was killed)
• 4141 abortions were performed on women who had prior abortions (Is abortion their way of contracepting?)
• There have been more than 10,000 abortions performed in Kansas every year since 1991 (I guess reducing abortions really isn’t a goal after all)
• 1286 abortions were performed in Johnson Co (one of the wealthiest counties in the United States) (I thought economic reasons was the main reason women had abortions?)
• 1146 abortion were performed in Sedwick Co / Wichita, KS (Did their contraception not work?)
