While abortion advocates often claim that pro-life Americans don’t support adoption, it’s a pro-abortion Democrat governor who made it clear that she doesn’t support adoptive families and children.
Governor Laura Kelly’s abortion extremism was on full display today as she vetoed life-affirming tax policies in House Bill 2465.
That’s legislation that, had she signed it, would have promoted adoption in Kansas.
The Democrat governor used her veto pen to block existing resources giving financial relief to families longing to adopt children and support to organizations that assist moms who want to choose life for their babies.
HB 2465 would establish adoption savings accounts and increase tax credits for adoptive families, eliminate the sales tax burden for pregnancy resource centers, and create tax credits for donors to those organizations.

Instead, Governor Kelly made it more financially difficult for families to provide loving homes for adoptive children.
Kansans for Life told LifeNews.com it was very disappointed with Kelly’s veto.
“By her heartless veto, Governor Kelly has shown once again that her only allegiance is to the profit-driven abortion industry, and not to vulnerable Kansas women, children, and families. KFL calls on legislators to override the governor’s veto of HB 2465 when they return to Topeka next week,” said Jeanne Gawdun, KFL Director of Government Relations.
