The Kansas Senate has approved a Bill making it easier to get a religious exemption from vaccines requirements. The Bill makes it harder for child care facilities, schools and employers to require vaccinations because it would be easier to get an exemption.
The Bill still has to pass the Kansas House, but faces an uphill battle to become law. The Bill did not pass the Senate with enough votes to override a likely veto from Democratic Governor, Laura Kelly. Seven Republicans joined Democrats opposing the Bill, saying they oppose efforts by those who would wipe out innocent life through abortion and stand opposed to those who would allow innocent children to suffer and possibly die when these life-saving vaccines have been safely used for decades and remain available.
Supporters of the Bill say the change is necessary to protect individual freedoms.
