Topeka ? A bill establishing minimum health and safety standards for abortion clinics cleared the Legislature Friday and went to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who was not sure if she would sign it.

Approved earlier by the House, the bill was amended slightly and given Senate approval on a 24-16 vote. The House then passed it 87-33 later in the day and sent it to the governor.

Sebelius, who supports abortion rights, said before the House vote that she had not decided what she would do with the bill if it reached her.

“I’m going to look at the bill,” Sebelius said at a news conference. “I’ll talk to interested parties and make a decision.”

Promoted by abortion opponents, the measure orders the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to set minimum standards for clinics’ supplies, equipment, lighting and ventilation and to specify the dimensions of interview rooms, bathrooms and dressing rooms.

Laws regulating hospitals and surgical centers are general, leaving the detail of regulation — including facility requirements — to KDHE. This legislation, however, details the standards.

Every clinic would be required to have a doctor as its medical director, have a female staffer present during any procedure done by a male doctor and to have ultrasound equipment if it offered abortions after the 12th week of pregnancy.

Proponents called the bill a health protection measure.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy,” said Rep. Candy Ruff, D-Leavenworth. “I don’t believe that right’s been interfered with in this bill.”

Opponents said the true goal was to make abortions more expensive or to impose costly requirements that would force some clinics to close.

Kansas currently has seven clinics that offer abortion services.

“This is just an attempt by the pro-life community to close some clinics in our state,” said Rep. Rick Rehorn, D-Kansas City. “These are clinics that service our poorest residents.”

Sen. Jim Barnett, R-Emporia, a physician for more than 20 years, said the bill reflected an effort to reach a compromise — and it was a compromise that he could support. He said targeting one medical procedure in a bill was the best way to make an impact. He called the bill “prudent and fair.”
