John,
Right-wing Republicans just unveiled their plan to eliminate abortion rights under the state constitution – and they're moving fast. They're attempting over just the next two weeks to get two-thirds of lawmakers in both the Kansas Senate and House to approve S.C.R. 1613 and H.C.R. 5019.
If they're successful, a statewide vote to overturn the state constitution's right to an abortion will go forward.
But here's the catch: Republicans are trying to sneak their scheme through with a vote in the low-turnout state primary election on August 4, not in the November election. That's on purpose – Republican leaders are outright saying they're timing the vote for what they think is the best opportunity to get the amendment passed.
Republicans have done similarly outrageous actions in other states like Georgia and Alabama – and now it's come home to Kansas.
Onward,
