Kansas judge throws out abortion regulations, saying they infringed on women's access to care
The 2011 law was blocked because a judge said it could have made it harder to get an abortion in Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kansas – Abortion regulations in a law passed by the Kansas Legislature in 2011 have been thrown out by a Shawnee County judge who said they infringed on women’s access to care.
The judge said the law required abortion providers to have inspections that other medical providers aren’t subject to, had unnecessary staffing requirements and made patient health records more accessible to state departments.
Some requirements added minimum recovery times for patients after procedures even though the current standards of care leave that up to the discretion of staff.
Abortion providers argued the requirements would increase wait times, disrupt care and increase costs.

There are still judges acting as though Casey is still good law?
