TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Gov. Sam Brownback has been getting some pointed feedback on his Facebook page about his stance on an extensive anti-abortion bill.
Two Kansas abortion rights activists posted queries about their menstrual cycles on Brownback’s page last week as a sarcastic way of protesting the Legislature’s continued involvement in abortion.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/GAG5QR ) that Nicki Scheid a member of the National Organization for Women’s Wichita branch, and Lawrence activist Jennifer Weishaar said they were particularly concerned about a provision in the bill that limits legal action a woman can take against a doctor who identifies fetal abnormalities during her pregnancy but doesn’t tell her.
Their comments sparked other postings from around the country with occasionally graphic anatomy questions.
Brownback spokeswoman, Sherriene Jones-Sontag, declined comment on the Facebook postings.
