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.”

Our Constitution has a specific amendment banning slavery. I think the Supreme Court was saying that our Constitution is silent on abortion, so it should be up to the states.

You might want to re-read that document.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Yes. Kansas was trying to insert something into the state constitution to allow more abortion restrictions but apparently some voters voted NO without understanding the resolution.

No matter what, the people can no longer blame legislators or judges or Roe v Wade. They own it.

THEY voted FOR Molech.

THEY voted FOR Molech.

Or, they didn’t vote at all and just ended up with Molech.

Very discouraging.

I don't mind being corrected but there was a time on FR that people were civil, not jerks.

Several factors. One of those Confusing yes to mean no ballot initiative. People are very reluctant to mess with a State Constitution. Very well funded and deceptive ad campaign. Kansas has a very active pro abortion segment of their population.

Yeah, you must have a very limited subset. It’s a popular and lucrative specialty - and that is so even if you are not dealing with illegals as the current *legal* immigration rules are so complex and arcane that people wishing to immigrate legally are well advised to engage an attorney. A friend of mine that’s a US citizen is going through that now in order to bring his British fiancée over legally and it’s a huge nightmare.

Isn't that quote from the Declaration of Independence and not the Constitution?

God will laugh then to scorn.

They are selecting themselves out of the gene pool.

God will keep the souls of the murdered babies.

The murderers will have to confront their murdered offspring in the Final Judgement before being cast into the eternal Lake of Fire, if they didn’t repent in this life.

The main question on abortion is, and has always been, whether unborn persons are “men” as referred to in the Constitution as deserving protection of life and liberty, or not.

The Supreme Court said it won’t answer that question, but each state can answer it for itself.
