This is a letter from Julie A. Burkhart, Founder and CEO, Trust Women:
On Wednesday, I testified in court to bring telemedicine for medication abortions to the people of Kansas Kansas
The telemedicine case that Trust Women brought, in which I testified, is the first case to be heard under the new constitutional provision that the Kansas State Supreme Court issued just a few weeks ago, in the case of Nauser and Hodes, MDs vs. Schmidt.
We waited over two years for the opinion to be issued in this case, which challenged the dilation and evacuation, 2ndtrimester, abortion ban. This is the case that led to the Kansas Supreme Court ruling that the Kansas State Constitution contains a right to an abortion. I’m delighted, that now were are able to have the telemedicine case heard, taking into consideration the opinion issued just recently.
Without you, this law may have never been enjoined.
Without you, we would have been forced to turn away 1 in every 10 women seeking an abortion. Those are the people and families who would have suffered.
Across the country this week, people came together to oppose abortion bans passed this legislative session in Missouri, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi – to name a few. Protecting access to abortion is going to involve mobilizing people, connecting voters to their lawmakers and challenging these terrible laws in the courts. Court cases are a long and expensive process, but they are necessary in order to protect abortion rights.
Thank you for all you’ve done for women.
The anti-choice faction is gearing up to push a constitutional amendment in the Kansas
