Kansas congressional candidate contradicts herself on national abortion ban



By Josh Israel -October 14, 2022 10:00 AM

Former Kansas Republican Party Chair Amanda Adkins says she opposes a federal law banning abortion, but she backs a GOP budget plan that explicitly proposes one.

Amanda Adkins, the Republican nominee challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids for the House seat in Kansas' 3rd Congressional District as well as a long-time opponent of abortion rights, says she is opposed to a federal abortion ban.

But Adkins is giving full-throated support to a federal budget proposal put forward by the conservative House caucus called the Republican Study Committee that expressly includes nationwide prohibitions on abortion.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June that struck down its ruling in Roe v. Wade that affirmed a constitutional right to abortion, Adkins, who says she is a "pro-life advocate" who is "committed to supporting life from conception until natural death," wrote in an opinion column published in the Kansas City Star in August:
