Kansas voters reject constitutional amendment allowing lawmakers to regulate abortion
Kansas residents have voted down an amendment to the state constitution that would have given state lawmakers the ability to regulate abortion, according to the Associated Press. With Tuesday’s vote, Kansas became the first state in the nation to vote on an abortion-related issue after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn federal abortion protections granted in the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade. The constitutional amendment, backed by a campaign called Value Them Both, would have given elected representatives the ability to pass legislation regulating abortion in Kansas, which was limited after the state Supreme Court previously found that the 1859 Kansas Constitution grants a “natural right” to abortion. . At the time the AP announced the race, voters had rejected the amendment by more than 20 percentage points. In 2019, the state’s highest court struck down a ban on surgical abortions in a 6-1 decision, ruling that the state constitution protects women’s choice to engage in this activity as a “right.” To read more from Fox News’ Kyle Morris, click here.

Masters went on to describe the Biden administration’s plans to finish a section of the border wall in Yuma as a “clearly political move” after their initial opposition to the physical border barrier, and criticized the Democratic-backed inflation-reduction law as “back”. “ “It’s positively Orwellian that instead of fixing the bad policies that caused this recession, Biden is putting the brakes on those policies, and then they’re just trying to redefine the word recession.
