Kansas Goes Abortion

For John, BLUF:  We are at the point where many consider unwanted babies as not human, ever after birth (eg, Virginia's current Governor).  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Kansas: Now The Abortion State

From The American Conservative, by Mr Rod Dreher, 26 April 2019.

Here is the lede:

The Kansas Supreme Court issued a stunning 6-1 decision today that guarantees expansive abortion rights in the state, no matter what happens at the federal level.  To make this clear:  even if Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortions will be legal in Kansas, because the state Supremes say abortion is guaranteed in the state constitution.

We face two problems, one moral and one demographic.  In both cases we need to leave a trail, in case we wish to walk back from where we find ourselves.  Demographically, we need to encourage enough births that, with immigration, we can sustain our population.♠  The moral issue refers to if we are on a slippery slope, one that will eventually lead to euthanasing the "worthless eaters".
