Without giving this much thought, I think an amendment could be crafted that states that the definition of "inalienable rights" does not include an unfettered right to abortion.

There may be neater or better ways for the legislature to do it.

These liberal judges that we have had for at least a decade are going to find that abortion is a right guaranteed by the Kansas constitution now, though. :angry:

I’ve been seeing tons of signs in support of the KS abortion amendment when I’ve been out and about lately. Saw a sign for a group called Abortion Is Murder - Kansas in front of a church today. They are denouncing the amendment because it doesn’t explicitly outlaw abortion and provide criminal penalties to anyone involved (merely paves the way for reactionaries in the ksleg to write the most draconian laws possible). This group is explicitly promoting theocracy:

Most of the propaganda that I've come across regarding the amendment is trying to downplay it. Says things like the amendment doesn't actually ban abortion so more people will vote for it. As if banning abortion wouldn't be the very first thing the legislature does after it passes.

It's kind of ridiculous that anyone is wasting money on it, anyway. It's already on a primary ballot so it's going to easily pass. It probably wouldn't have much trouble passing on a general election ballot.

“For Kansas and Missouri registrations, comparing Friday, June 17 to Friday, June 24, we saw a 1,038% increase in Kansas and a 627% increase in Missouri,” Nick Morrow, director of communications for Vote.org, said in an email Monday.

Definitely way more "vote no" signs where I live, but my congressional district is represented by a female, native american, homosexual.

I am a "vote no" supporter, and hope that "no" wins, but what's to stop the right wing from putting this up for vote on every election going forward if they don't win this one?

I still expect "yes" to win pretty convincingly, but I really hope that "no" wins.

I would expect it to be put on every single ballot until the end of time until "yes" wins.

I don't think 2/3 of the state legislature will be able to keep putting a losing measure on the ballot and still hold onto their seats.

I have a shred of hope that this amendment fails but not more than a shred.

Everyone needs to get the word out to vote "NO". I myself have taken to Facebook for the first time in 6+ years, and I don't even live in Kansas.

I've always told myself that Kansas is mostly the way that it is politically because of all of the single issue abortion voters. It would be amazing to me to see more than 50% of a general population vote go pro-choice.

Also, the pro-life commercials come across as very strange to me. Talking about how the amendment doesn't actually ban abortion but allows our elected officials to place the common sense barriers to abortion that are already in place. I think they'd do better leaning in and claiming that this amendment will allow congress to ban all abortions in 2023.

I'm pretty confident you are not their target audience.

I'm not, but I'm also pretty sure that their target audience wants more restrictions on abortion than we currently have. It's weird that they claim to not want that.

It is not "weird" it is just that they are obviously lying.
