UPDATE: On August 2, Kansas voters overwhelmingly voted ’no’ on the proposed constitutional amendment—with 59 percent voting against, in an election that saw a resounding turnout compared to 2018’s midterm primary.
Abortion rights advocates gather outside the Kansas Statehouse to protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion Friday, June 24, 2022, in Topeka, Kan.
Analysts say the victory, which allows abortion protections in the state constitution to remain in place, signals a larger trend of support for abortion rights even in conservative states—and indicates that abortion could be a mobilizing issue in November’s midterm elections.
