First of all, Kansas is one of the states pushing for the teaching of Intelligent Design (aka god created all) in science classes.
Attorney General Phill Kline
-He also helped write a state law restricting late-term abortions, the issue now winning so much national attention from friends and foes.
- Kline sought to require Kansas health workers to report sexual activity of girls younger than 16, the age of consent. The workers filed suit, and a federal judge blocked the request. Kline then persuaded a state judge to back the subpoena for records of more than 80 women and girls who received abortions in 2003 at two clinics. He described it as a search for evidence of illegal late-term abortions and child rape.
- he has tried every which way to get a hold of women's health records from planned parenthood clinics. In his first effort he said he wanted them as evidence of statutory rape cases, and wanted TISSUE samples from any cells taken from said women. THEN he tried to get ahold of 80 medical records of women who had late term abortions in an attempt to prosecute them. These women don't know if their records are one of them and could be sprung with charges. Most of them has late term abortions because their babies had brain damage or were brain dead. Some never told their families.
- he is also big on pushing intelligent design..

The other reason Kansas sucks?
A Kansas state senator who has been quoted as saying she does not support the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote is running for Secretary of State. Republican Sen. Kay O’Connor announced Wednesday that she was running for the statewide office, which oversees elections and voting.
This position has become increasingly important in allocating voting machines to districts and precincts, choosing election equipment, and deciding whether or not to purge voter rolls.
In 2001, the Kansas City Star quoted her as saying, “"I'm an old-fashioned woman. Men should take care of women, and if men were taking care of women (today) we wouldn't have to vote.”
She said that if she had the opportunity to vote on the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote, that she would vote against it, the Star reports. “We have a society that does tear families apart … I think the 19th Amendment, while it’s not an evil in and of itself, is a symptom of something I don’t approve of … The 19th Amendment is around because men weren’t doing their jobs, and I think that’s sad. I believe the man should be the head of the family. The woman should be the heart of the family,” she said, according to the Associated Press.
After a controversy erupted in which members of her own party suggested she resign from office, O’Connor denied saying she opposed the 19th Amendment, but witnesses confirmed her comments and the Star stuck by its story.
On Wednesday, O’Connor said that she did not think this issue would be a factor in her election and dismissed the controversy as “silliness” – “I am who I am. You don’t have to agree with everything I say,” she said, according to the Associated Press.
I honestly don't think I could make any comment that would make this woman seem more ridiculous than she already is...
