Summary Opponents are marking the 40th anniversary of the landmark U.S. ruling on abortion.
TOPEKA, Kansas:- Opponents are marking the 40th anniversary of the landmark U.S. ruling on abortion with a push for yet more restrictions after a string of state moves that narrow access to the procedure.
The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade established the right to abortion.
Hundreds of anti-abortion activists will rally Tuesday outside the Kansas Statehouse, where the Republican governor signed tough new anti-abortion laws during his first two years in office.
Much to the dismay of abortion-rights advocates, the action in Kansas has been repeated in other states.
Abortion remains one of the most sensitive political issues in the United States.
