Prohibiting abortion procedures except when necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman and providing a private cause of action for civil enforcement of such prohibition.

HB 2009 prohibits most abortion procedures in Kansas, allowing them only when necessary to preserve the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency. The bill bans the distribution or provision of abortion drugs like mifepristone and creates a private civil enforcement mechanism: anyone can sue providers, pharmacies, or insurers who violate the ban and seek $10,000 in statutory damages per violation plus attorney fees. It directly affects medical professionals performing abortions, pharmacies dispensing abortion drugs, and entities covering abortion costs through insurance. The bill explicitly excludes the pregnant woman from liability and does not prohibit medical treatments for miscarriage using misoprostol.
