All those cookie-cutter abortion clinic 'women's protection' laws will be affected as well [View all]

Wichita — The U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down Texas’ strict regulations of abortion clinics is expected to affect the fate of similar state regulations currently on hold in a Kansas court.

Texas rules required abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient care.

Kansas lawmakers passed similar requirements in 2011, but that law has been temporarily blocked pending trial in a Shawnee County courtroom.

The Texas law resembles similar measures enacted in other states, including Ohio, North Carolina, Arizona, Kansas, Tennessee, Indiana, Arkansas, Missouri and Utah.
