Kansas Overwhelmingly Votes to Uphold Abortion ‘Rights’
Breitbart ^ | August 2, 2022 | Paul Bois

Posted on 08/03/2022 5:11:47 AM PDT by Morgana

The pro-life movement suffered a defeat in Kansas on Tuesday when the state overwhelmingly voted to uphold abortion “rights.”

The vote in Kansas on Tuesday centered on whether or not the state would remove abortion rights protections in the State Constitution, potentially paving the way for “state lawmakers to pass far-reaching abortion restrictions, or even to pursue a ban,” according to the New York Times.

With 76 percent reporting, the “No” votes to keep abortion rights in place beat the “Yes” votes by double digits – 62.2 percent versus 37.7 percent as of this writing. Both NBC News and the New York Times have projected “No” as the referendum winner.

Abortion activists and Democrat lawmakers celebrated the victory.

“This is huge: abortion rights were on the ballot for the first time since Roe, and the people of Kansas voted to preserve access,” tweeted Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). “I’m grateful down to my toes for everyone who helped stop this dangerous ballot measure in its tracks.”

ME and VT stood with Landon in 1936, but his own KS did not.

I think you’re reading it wrong. Your link shows that in 2020 Trump took 56.2% of the vote and Biden took 41.65%. In 2016 Trump took 56.2% and Clinton took 36%. In 2012 Romney took 60% to Obama’s 38%. And in 2008 McCain took 57% to Obama’s 42%. Kansas hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1964.

You may have a point there, as I only associate with conservatives.

Yes, we were. That is why I say ‘on the road to hell’, because you still have time to avoid that fate by accepting Jesus Christ while you are still breathing.

After 170 years, the name, “Bleeding Kansas,” just doesn’t want to go away.

Quantrill half-assed it.

If he had done what should have been done there would be no kansass today.

58.9 to 41.1

It came down after the last 20% came in

That’s still a landslide

A lot of women are pro infanticide.

A lot of men want to hide their sins.

I pray that someday someone will invent some kind of birth control options that will prevent women from having to make this choice..

My KS friends were getting mailers from CA before this.

The state go to decide for themselves. Way it should be.

I wish I’d never heard of the abortion issue. All I’ve ever seen it do is get good candidates for public offices defeated by vermin.

And I wish I’d never heard of the penalties laid upon a NON-Native-American who dares even possess a bald eagle feather!

A friend from Kansas says he’s going to hide in a cave and wait to see if God’s going to turn it into a sinkhole.

When the rapture finally occurs, nobody is going to notice.

Hosea 6: 1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
