Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Ty they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

Abortion extremists such as Planned Parenthood who push the lie that ending a child's life in the womb is "healthcare" are not in line with most Kansans. As long as I am Senate President, we will continue to pursue protections for children in the womb through common sense policies supported by the vast majority of Kansans.

“Yesterday, I was encouraged to see so many Kansans come out on a cold day for the annual March and Rally for Life at the Statehouse. It was an honor to address the crowd and further commit us to a culture of life. As I told those gathered, it will be a cold day in you-know-what before we stop fighting to protect women and children, including unborn children.”
