Lawmakers across Kansas have issued statements on the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade, nearly 50 years after it gave women the constitutional right to an abortion.
Governor Laura Kelly posted that she made her stance clear and a women’s reproductive healthcare should be between her and her doctor and will continue to oppose all regressive legislation that interferes with individual freedoms or threatens the progress Kansas has made in recent years that makers Kansas a constructive place to do business. Kansas Representative, Sharice Davids, questioned how voters will choose to support women and access to health care in the August election. She says the protections are now gone and Kansas is at a major decision point.
The August 2nd Kansas Primary will decide whether Kansans believe the right to abortion exists in the Kansas Constitution.
