Bravo Brownback!
Polistra has always been a fan of Sam Brownback, though it's probably good that he didn't make it to the Presidency. Now it looks like Brownback is fulfilling his promise as Kan gov in a serious way! He's using all the legally available machinery of the state to make abortuaries get the hell out of Dodge. Or rather out of KCK and Overland Park, since that's where all three remaining murder mills are.
Neat idea. A state unquestionably has an obligation to regulate public health. Abortuaries are by definition unhealthy for babies, to put it mildly. So a rational public health law should prohibit abortuaries.
Remains to be seen what the judge will do; most likely will grant the injunction, especially since the Hodes clan of KC is rich, well-connected and hardass Commie. But judges in the Midwest aren't always predictable, so we can hope and pray.

Update end of June 30: It appears that the judge did not issue an injunction, so the law goes into effect. Two of the three clinics have been denied a license to operate. According to LifeNews, the Kansas law was written to follow precedents of previous Federal "court" "decisions"; which may explain why the latest black-robed saboteur was hesitant to issue an emergency injunction.
Polistra and Happystar salute Kansas for the second time this year.

Update again, 5 PM July 1: Well, no surprise after all. A black-robed Satanist has done the predictable thing a day late. Black-robed Satanist Carlos Murguia has "granted" a preliminary injunction to Comrade Hodes. However, this doesn't guarantee a final invalid and illegitimate Federal "overruling" of the state in the end, since another black-robed Satanist somehow accidentally approved a nearly identical law in South Carolina. ¶ 4:21 AM
A father-daughter physician team is going to court to stop the state from imposing new rules that could potentially leave the state abortion free by the end of the week.
Herbert Hodes and his daughter, Traci Nauser, filed a lawsuit in federal court asking a judge to stop the new licensing requirements from going into effect on July 1.
Hodes and Nauser run an Overland Park obstetrics and gynecological clinic that also provides abortion services. It is one of three abortion clinics in the state that face the prospect of not getting a license by the time the new regulations start on Friday.
Hodes and Nauser run the Center for Women’s Health, which was scheduled to be inspected Wednesday. The clinic canceled the inspection thinking it wouldn’t be approved for a license anyway.
Contending that the rules in the new law are overly burdensome and impose a “number of ambiguous and unclear requirements,” the physicians are asking a judge to issue a preliminary injunction barring the state from moving ahead.
