This vote on Aug. 2 constitutional amendment in Kansas will be 'no' because both are valued [View all]

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.
