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.”

Very few people read the actual amendment. Nobody needed to because everyone understood the summation:

Vote YES if you are pro-life.
Vote NO if you want unrestricted, unregulated abortion in Kansas.

Even the stupid, ignorant, and mentally unhinged pro-aborts knew how to vote to protect their child-killing sacrament.

Folks in states where pro-life laws are in place should be wary of what happened in Kansas. The pro-aborts can and will use the Kansas model to impose their morality on everyone else. All that is necessary is for rogue activist judges to invent a right to abortion in the state constitution, ala SCOTUS and Roe in 1973 and the KS Supreme Court in 2019. After that, the only ways to reverse it are to amend the state constitution or hope a future supreme court reverses it.
