Kansas Vovers Overwhelmingly Reject Constitutional Amendment Banning Abortion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voters in Kansas have overwhelmingly rejected an anti-abortion ballot
measure. Nearly 60% of Kansan voters opposed adding a constitutional
amendment to remove the right to an abortion in the state. The lopsided
vote surprised many. During the 2020 election, Donald Trump won the
state by 15%. If the amendment had passed, it would have cleared the way
for Republican state lawmakers to ban abortion.
