Kansas voters protect abortion rights, reject measure that would have allowed statewide ban

Kansas voters protect abortion rights, reject measure that would have allowed statewide ban.

The Kansas GOP-backed "Keep Them Both" state constitutional amendment would open the door to legislation limiting or banning abortions in the state, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Early returns tonight show the amendment failing on a statewide referendum by a wider-than-expected 20-25% margin.
