I'm in Kansas and it wasn't difficult at all to understand.

Vote YES if you want to restore the power to the state legislature to regulate abortion, which the state supreme court in 2019 stripped them of (the court discovered a "right" to abortion in the state constitution which no one had ever seen since 1859 -- similar to what SCOTUS did in Roe in 1973).

Vote NO if you want abortion to be unregulated whatsoever in Kansas.

What is so difficult to understand about this?

“Vote NO if you want abortion to be unregulated whatsoever in Kansas.”

Well, what took the rest of us by surprise is that 60% of KS voters allegedly want unfettered abortion in their state and a make-believe right to abortion in their state constitution. Outcome seems counter-intuitive for a state with a GOP super-majority in the legislature. But I guess the Planned Barrenhood propaganda machine and its allies were very effective in the campaign?

now if it actually said that then that would have been perfect and I’d bet it would have passed.


Ballot text: Shall the following be adopted?
ยง 22. Regulation of abortion. Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the people, through their elected state representatives and state senators, may pass laws regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, laws that account for circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or circumstances of necessity to save the life of the mother.
[ ] Yes [ ] No
The Value Them Both Amendment would affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to
abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion, including, but not limited to, in circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or when necessary
to save the life of the mother.

A vote for the Value Them Both Amendment would affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion.

A vote against the Value Them Both Amendment would make no changes to the constitution of the state of Kansas, and could restrict the people, through their elected state legislators, from regulating abortion by leaving in place the recently recognized right to abortion.”
