Judge refuses to block Kansas abortion insurance law

Kansas State Rep. Pete DeGraaf should rejoice! DeGraaf raised a big stir this spring when he argued in favor of a new Kansas law banning insurance providers from including abortion services in their policies, thus forcing women to buy insurance riders if they wanted the services covered.
The representative was less than delicate when debating that women shouldn’t complain that rape victims who get pregnant as a result of their assault should have abortion services covered. DeGraaf, who is a pastor, explained that if women are so concerned they’re going get pregnant after an assault, then have the gall to get an abortion, they can just buy a rider. It’s all about planning ahead, he said.
