1 Kan. Stat. Ann. § 21-3407 (Vernon 1971).
2 Id. § 21-3407(2). The law imposed other conditions. Abortions could be performed only by licensed physicians in licensed, accredited hospitals. Id. §§ 21-3407(2), 65-444. Except in emergency cases, no abortion could be performed unless three physicians certified in writing the circumstances that existed that justified the abortion. Id. §§ 21-3407(2)(a), -(b), 65-444. The hospitalization and three-physician concurrence requirements were declared unconstitutional by a three-judge federal district court in a pre-Roe decision. See Poe v. Menghini, 339 F.Supp. 986 (D. Kan. 1972). As the experience in California demonstrated, mental health exceptions were widely abused. See People v. Barksdale, 503 P.2d 257, 265 (Cal. 1972) (noting that more than 60,000 abortions were reported in 1970, more than 98% of which were performed for alleged reasons of mental health).
3 1992 Kan. Sess. Laws 723, 729, ch. 183, § 9.
4 See Kan. Stat. Ann. § 65-6703 (2002).
