KANSAS LAWMAKER
COMPARES BIRTH CONTROL
PROPOSAL TO EUGENICS
The Associated Press
The Kansas Senate has
rejected a proposal for encouraging the state to provide long-acting birth control to poor residents after a
Republican member likened
it to the discredited 20th
Century eugenics movement that sought to control
who could have children.
Democratic Sen. Marci
Francisco of Lawrence offered the proposal Thursday as an amendment to a
bill that would permanently
block the state from sending

federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services to Planned Parenthood.
Her amendment failed on a
voice vote.
Francisco said her proposal would have reduced
unintended pregnancies
and abortions among young
women.
But Republican Sen.
Mary Pilcher-Cook of Shawnee said such efforts target
minorities and likened the
proposal to eugenics.
The Senate then gave the
bill first-round approval on a
voice vote, setting up final
action Tuesday.
