New data shows 851 women from Arkansas had abortions in Kansas during 2024.
Since the reversal of Roe, Arkansas’ pro-life laws generally have protected women and unborn children from abortion except when the mother’s life is at risk. Last year Arkansas’ legislators voted overwhelmingly to clarify and strengthen its pro-life laws.
However, abortion facilities in other states encourage women to travel across state lines for abortion.
Last month the Kansas Department of Health released its annual abortion statistics. The report shows that abortions in the Sunflower State increased slightly from 19,467 in 2023 to 19,811 in 2024. More than 3/4 of those abortions were on women from out-of-state.
The data reveals abortionists in Kansas performed 851 abortions on women from Arkansas.
Some 3,141 women from Oklahoma and 3,760 from Missouri had abortions in Kansas in 2024. Kansas performed a staggering 6,736 abortions on women from Texas.
Women and families deserve better than abortion. It’s important to prohibit abortion through legislation, but we need to eliminate the demand for abortion as well. If pro-lifers can do that, perhaps people will no longer travel across state lines for abortion.
