Kansas Voters To Decide On Abortion Rights

Kansas voters are deciding on a constitutional amendment regarding abortion rights following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. A 'yes' vote would remove constitutional protection for abortion, allowing the state legislature to impose further restrictions or bans. A 'no' vote maintains the current law, which permits abortions up to 22 weeks with some exceptions. The amendment has significantly increased voter turnout, especially in liberal areas like Johnson County. Voters like Erica and her father Steve are motivated by women's rights issues to vote 'no'. The outcome will depend on whether liberal areas outweigh conservative regions. The report highlights potential voter confusion due to the yes/no language.
