Related: About this forumThis vote on Aug. 2 constitutional amendment in Kansas will be 'no' because both are valued
Jim McCollough
I will value them both on Tuesday Aug. 2, and I will vote no on the amendment to the Kansas Constitution regarding regulating abortion.
I am not pro-abortion, but I will be voting no on Aug. 2. This proposed amendment to the constitution presented by our extremist right-wing Kansas legislators is presented in such a way as to confuse the average less-informed voter.
Make no mistake about it. If this amendment is passed, our extremist legislators will be empowered to pass legislation that will prohibit abortions in Kansas, including fetuses carried by rape victims and those victimized by incest.
Furthermore, they will be in a position to deny an abortion, even to a a mother whose life is being threatened by the pregnancy. Women will be dying if a total abortion ban is enacted by Kansas legislators. Lawmakers will have the authority to pass anti-abortion laws that have NO restrictions.

(34,401 posts)It is absolutely a try to confuse people but there are signs, being torn down daily, but replaced and it has been in the news a LOT and with the Supreme Court decision it has really been talked about. Anyone who does not know does not care it would seem.
Personally, I think it will go the way everyone expects it to go. We were protected by our Kansas Supreme Court until just a couple of years ago. Now it will be just horrible.
