Strategically targeted election or is it the case that Kansas is a bellweather for this issue?
The GOP controlled Kansas legislature put the referendum on the ballot. They thought the competitive GOP primaries would bring out conservative voters.
There are so many baby murderers in this country.
Not so sure it’s a bell weather
Kansas is not a conservative stronghold. It’s got enough college kids and lefties there to not be anything but left
My understanding is that it was confusing language and the pro-life side didn’t realize it.
It can always be voted on again. We have learned that over the years.
The Kansas legislature should state that the people have spoken and abortion will remain a right. But rights apply irrespective of sex, and fully half the Kansas population is not afforded access to their abortion rights. The legislature should immediately pass a law that gives that other half the population access to their abortion rights. MEN, who now have no remedial choice in the matter, will be able to proclaim a “financial abortion” in lieu of the medical one available to women. Promising to disclaim all parental relationships, the petitioning male will sever all future financial responsibilities. A right is a tight.

“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.”
She’s “grateful down to her toes for everyone who helped,” meaning to persons other than the voters.
“who helped stop this dangerous ballot measure in its tracks.”
The ballot measure itself is “dangerous,” because it leaves the choice to the voters.
My spider sense is tingling and it’s saying “ballot fraud”.
It’s a Bellwether
If we lost 51%-49%, then ok maybe, just maybe the other side did a better job of getting their people out or maybe the ballot wasn’t worded correctly and we can chalk it up as just a fluke and try better next time.
But c’mon, it went down 65%-35%. That’s a slaughter.
Sad to say, if there was a similar election in the other 49 states, probably at least 45 of the would have had similar results to Kansas.
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.
