______
Hall of the House of Representatives, Topeka, KS,
Wednesday, April 29, 1998, 10:00 a.m. 
 The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker pro tem Wagle in the chair.

 The roll was called with 123 members present.

 Rep. Helgerson was excused on excused absence by the Speaker.

 Present later: Rep. Helgerson.

      Prayer by Chaplain Washington:

      Gracious Father,

       In returning to these halls with more of a handle on this legislative session than
      we had when we began, let us come with the overriding thought that through it all,
      Your Love, Mercy and Goodness have had a handle on us.

       Lord, Your prevailing love has been extended to every one of us. Let us not be
      like the lepers of old. When all ten of them were healed, in Luke 17:11-19, only one
      of them returned to say thanks.

       As we are blessed with the presence of the KU women's basketball team, give us
      hearts of appreciation this morning. You've been good to us throughout this session.
      Today, as we receive afresh, from Your Good Hand, help us to do our work with a
      spirit of gratefulness and with a renewed awareness of Your abiding Love.

       In the words of the songwriter, ``How can I say thanks for the things You have
      done for me? Things so undeserved, yet You gave to prove Your Love for me. The
      voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am and ever hope
      to be, I owe it all to Thee. To God be the Glory!''

       Thank You Father.

       I come in the Name of Jesus the Christ. Amen and Amen.

April 27, 1998
Message to the House of the State of Kansas:
 The issue of abortion is one of the most difficult and divisive issues in public policy. It
divides friends and family and embodies medical science and care, religion, ethics, morality
and law. Life is sacred. The challenge is balancing the constitutional rights and the mental
and physical needs of the mother with those of the fetus.

 Of the hundreds of bills placed on my desk by the legislature, none has received the time
and consideration of House Bill 2531. I have personally visited with legal experts, physicians
of various specialties, administrators of public health policy and opponents and proponents
of the legislation. My focus has been on understanding and interpreting the complexity,
intent and potential impact of this legislation. Politics has not been a factor in my deci-
sion-making process, and I am disappointed in those who have chosen to discuss it in political
terms. This issue is too serious to be driven by politics.

 I am pleased this bill allows for additional health considerations of women by allowing
post-viability abortions when necessary to prevent permanent and irreversible impairment
of a pregnant woman's major bodily functions = mmental and physical. The legislative intent
to include this exception has been confirmed to me in writing by the principal House and
Senate authors of this bill. This exception is not allowed in current Kansas law and needs
to be available to Kansas women who encounter serious health difficulties during their
pregnancies. Many Kansans are unaware that our present abortion law has serious consti-
tutional deficiencies because it does not provide a health exception for the pregnant woman.
This bill seeks in a limited way to address the unconstitutional aspect of current law.

 I have been an advocate for banning the partial birth abortion procedure and this legis-
lation does so. The sections dealing with reporting are long overdue. We cannot deal with
this issue by speculation; we need facts, and this bill addresses the need for more complete
reporting. I also support the provisions of this bill prohibiting assisted suicide.

 The troubling part of the bill, the part that seriously challenges the balance between the
mother and the unborn child's rights, is the elimination of the severe fetal abnormality
exception after viability. My visits with health experts have helped me reach a comfort level
that a pregnant woman, against her will, will not need to carry to term a fetus incapable of
survival outside the womb.

 I continue to anguish over the few women in Kansas who may be compelled to carry to
term a fetus incapable of life without artificial support. I have come to the conclusion these
situations will be extremely rare and still will be ultimately decided by physicians based upon
the mental and physical health of the mother. I believe this legislation taken as a whole is
consistent with the philosophy of our current abortion law and represents good public policy
that balances the rights for mother and unborn child. Therefore, I am signing it into law.

 No decision in my service as Governor has been more difficult, and I hope for all Kansans
Ihave made the right decision.
