Against all odds, Kansas decides to protect the right to abortion. The United States had its eyes riveted on this ballot, which was a political test. Kansas is a conservative state, as are the Supreme Court justices who in June struck down that federal law.
To Wichita (Kansas, USA)when the results were announced, the voters let their joy explode. All generations combined realize that the no has won. A no to an amendment that would have paved the way for the ban on abortion in this conservative state. The relief and the surprise of winning so largely are present. “My state has risen. He will take care of me, of all those who may be pregnant”says Alice Utleyresident of Kansas.
The local ballot has national political test value, as it is the first major vote on abortion since the highly controversial US Supreme Court ruling that struck down abortion rights (Abortion). But neighboring states of Missouri and Oklahoma have already imposed near-total bans.
