Typical call and response: The “christian right” takes away something; Better people manage to get back something similar, but not quite as good, with long and expensive effort; and that is called a good outcome.
No.
The right wing costs everyone a lot of effort, angst, money and time and that is NOT a good thing. It’s theft. In this case, considering how many will actually die from that SCROTUS ruling, it’s felony theft! At the very least. Even though Kansans have done the correct thing in this case. At great effort and expense. And the anti-women league can keep on pushing to make them defend their choice over and over and … and over.
Kansas City is going to have a flow into Kansas from Missouri and Saint Louis into Illinois. At least there will be fewer botched abortions and busy back alleys.
Glad to see Kansas respond to the oh so righteous right. Still the idea that a majority of voters gets to make a decision of this type for all females seems unAmerican.
I’m glad that the people of Kansas were smart enough to see past the unethical effort by the radical right wing conservatives to confuse them into voting against their own best interests and take away the rights and privacy of women.
The SCOTUS cares not for the will of the people, so, too the Kansas Legislature. They can still write all the restrictions into law that they want, and they will.
Because of the politicized, pseudo-christian, right taking advantage of the inherent flaw in proportional representation caused by the gerrymandering and the Senate membership — which delivers more influence to small population states — it will always require large voter urban turnouts to correct the imbalance in representation.
Perhaps there’s a hope for the rest of us…let’s see what happens in November…with any luck, the Reichwingnuts will be VERY disappointed! Not that they will accept the results, of course…
This is not over in Kansas. The same crowd that wants to deny a woman her reproductive rights said that they are going to try to go through their State Legislature. In effect, nullifying the people’s vote last Tuesday.
“In a statement, Dannielle Underwood, a spokeswoman for the Value Them Both Coalition, said the outcome of Tuesday’s election is a temporary setback. “We will be back,” she said.*
Something similar happened in Missouri when a majority voted to expand medicare/Medicaid, only to have the Missouri Legislature ignore it and cut those safety nets.
These people do not believe in democracy. They are the enemy of anyone who believes you have a right to have your voices heard through the vote.

Hopefully a precursor to the mid-term elections.

Hoping other states will follow….SC is UNFAIR, bought and paid for by GOP, the “so called Christian’s” group……U. G. H.
BOO HISS

Just kicking a loose thought around: hit the Republicans with a threat of a restraint of trade notion/action.

A good example of state rights working. You spin is typical leftist baseless rhetoric!

Further proof that most red states are only red by gerrymandering, not by the will of the people that live in those states.

I think it’s unfair to call scotus scrotus because they really don’t have any balls

It is happening the way it should. The states make their own abortion laws. The states should not be micromanaged by the federal government.

There is a town named Hope in Kansas which is not far to the east from the lower right corner of the E in the HOPE above (8 miles from my house).
