WASHINGTON―Congressman Ron Estes (R-Kansas) released the following statement after today's Kansas Supreme Court ruling on abortion:

"Radical and out-of-touch justices on the Kansas Supreme Court have cleared the way for the barbaric practice of dismemberment abortions and opened the door for even more extreme late-term abortions in our state. This ruling, which seeks to supersede federal law, also does not protect babies born alive after a botched abortion and must be challenged," said Rep. Estes. "Unborn and born-alive babies deserve protection under the law and I will continue to stand for life in our state and country."

Ron Estes is a 5th generation Kansan and represents Kansas’ 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He serves on the House Committee on Ways and Means.
