available in kansas. they were not scheduling any abortions for tomorrow, because that's when governor brownback's new rules go into effect. none of them had been granted licenses by the brownback administration. none of them expected to be granted licenses by the time the license rules go into effect tomorrow. so kansas was hours away from becoming the first state in america since roe versus wade to ban abortion altogether. then, less than an hour before the close of the business day today, the state apparently changed its mind. the state reversing its earlier statement to planned parenthood in overland park that they would not be licensed to operate as of tomorrow. now telling them that that clinic will be licensed to operate. so abortion is only almost banned in kansas. and if the new law is allowed to stand, there will be one abortion provider left in the state. and that provider will have to abide by a set of rules that frankly were designed to shut it down. rules that even full-blown hospitals do no

in the state of kansas? >> yes. absolutely an attempt to outlaw abortion in the state of kansas. these are medically unnecessary rules that were put into place in a kind of bogus procedural way, and our clients are not going to be able to provide abortion service tomorrow morning until we get into court tomorrow afternoon. >> what happened -- i won't let you or me make the argument. you're the advocate. it puts women who want an abortion in a double choice situation. travel out of state or go to someone who does it illegally? >> well, absolutely. >> effectively where it's going to come to, isn't it? >> the harm of the law is that they hurt women. one in three women in the united states has an abortion in her lifetime, and in the state of kansas, there are many women who need to access abortion services, and our clients who provide services as part of the general ob/gyn practice, do deliveries, abortion services, contraception services, they can't provide their patients with abortion services start tomorrow morning unless we're able to get an injunction in court tomorrow afternoon

you might say, well, kansas and the coal industry, what's that have to do with kansas? i'm a farmer by trade and we produce a lot of corn and wheat and soy bones and many other things -- soybeans and many other things, but in order to produce those, we need a lot of electricity. we built a coal-fired electrical power plant in western kansas. it yen rates electricity that covers six or seven states. a few years ago western said, we need more electricity, our economy continues to grow. and we begin the process in western kansas to expand our electrical production. we need more electricity. if the economy is going to grow, and i'm sorry to say now the economy is not growing very quickly urn this administration and let me tell you why, it's called overregulation. it's called litigation. it's call the attempt by this administration and others outside that are working together with this administration to stop the generation of more electricity, more energy of various types. we need more energy. we need more american energy and we can produce that. we're trying to do that righ

that was the kansas-nebraska act. by letting people decide for themselves, he feared as did most of that kansas would choose to become a slave state and nebraska would be a free state. turnon after great deal of violence and bloodshed that kansas became a free state but benton had no way of knowing that and 1854. california had been admitted to the union as a single great big state that did not have slavery but the had been debated becoming too states and there was a movement afoot to divide california into two states. someone prominent in that movement by the way was james. the mexican territory had not yet been decided, but there was in the wind the idea that it needed to fight horizontally, and as we mentioned a moment back during the civil war that effort was made. so that bentsen had the fear that there was a whole thing going on in the west regarding the slave states and free states. this is the nightmare number three. cuba. he mentioned the ambassador trying to buy it from spain which turned out didn't work out

kansas, the war in kansas, the kansas/nebraska act of -- you had a civil war, you had murder going on. people of kansas and missouri were murdering each other over slavery. if you think we're living through tough times now, i mean, nothing compared -- i mean, you had bands of guerrilla fighters including john brown. and john brown, who's insane, but not insane enough to commit murder, gets together with his crazy family and a bunch of other anti-slavery nut cases, and they're out there with a guerrilla army in kansas murdering people for no reason other than they are pro-slavery or that they owned slaves. murdering people. his most vicious act, the massacre at potowatomie, i don't know if i pronounced that right, creek in 1856 with four of his sons and three other men, they abducted five men -- i don't even think they were slave owners -- and got a broad sword and cut, you know, cut their skulls in half. and, i mean, it was murder. so when you read all these lovely things about john brown and all this politically correct stuff, fine. maybe he was a great man. i don't know, he strikes
