Conservative Kansas votes overwhelmingly to preserve abortion rights

actually, that’s just your interpretation. they decided 6 to 1 which is pretty definitive

their constitution says:

§ 1. Equal rights. All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

§ 2. Political power; privileges. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and are instituted for their equal protection and benefit. No special privileges or immunities shall ever be granted by the legislature, which may not be altered, revoked or repealed by the same body; and this power shall be exercised by no other tribunal or agency

they point out that “men” should be applied to all people. and that “among” was deliberately chosen to show examples not limitations.

oto similar to the us constitution, the power to limit people’s rights is explicitly restricted.

bodily autonomy and medical rights are human rights and all their supreme court did was say: yes, they are.
