John,
Last year, Kansas voters rejected a ballot referendum that would have eliminated the right to abortion from the state constitution. The referendum was defeated by a wider margin than almost anyone expected -- nearly 18 points.
The people of Kansas were crystal clear: they want abortion to remain legal in their state.
But that hasn't stopped Kansas Republicans from passing one anti-choice law after another this legislative session. They passed a law mandating that providers must tell their patients lies about the abortion pill. They passed a ridiculous, scientifically unfounded "born alive" law that we don't even want to get into -- except to say that it peddles a dangerous false narrative about "failed abortions."
And most recently, they passed a devastating law that offers tuition assistance to Kansas medical students -- in an attempt to reverse the state's shortage of OB-GYNs -- but NOT to any medical student trained to perform abortions. Pregnancy termination is, of course, a safe, effective, and common medical procedure -- and one that is still legal in Kansas.
The lesson here? Republicans don't care about the will of the people. They only care about power, control, and limiting our freedoms.
And since we can't count on Republicans to do the right thing, ever, no matter what their constituents want or need -- we need to elect more Democratic pro-choice women everywhere, at every level of government. Donate now to help make it happen:
