Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a(b) prescribes the conditions under which a city utilizing non-partisan elections must hold a primary election. The statute on its face is uniformly applicable to all cities, and is contained in an act (L. 1982, ch. 157) which is also uniform. K.S.A. 25-2113, which is contained in a different act, sets forth a general rule for non-partisan city elections, but also contains a provision for partisan city elections in Johnson County. The inclusion of this provision renders K.S.A. 25-2113 non-uniform, and thereby subject to a charter ordinance under a city's home rule authority. However, in the absence of such an ordinance which would allow partisan elections, the general provisions of K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a concerning primary elections continue to apply. To the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion, Attorney General Opinion No. 78-49 is superseded. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a, K.S.A. 25-2113, Kan. Const. Art. 12, section 5.
