Laura Kelly on Tuesday of pressuring Catholic Democrats to vote “against their own faith” in rejecting an anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution as legislators fought bitterly over whether to approve the governor’s sweeping plans to reorganize state government.

But frustrations boiled during debates over Kelly’s plans for state agencies, including departments that oversee child welfare and energy policy. (Shorman, 2/11)
