2022 Election Results: Kansas abortion amendment fails

The Value Them Both amendment on abortion failed in Kansas, with thousands voting no, which makes no change to the state constitution.

We need to put it on the ballot in every state possible. Let's get women's rights back and stop Republicans getting in between a woman and her doctor.

"people have more in common than politicians want them to believe" surprise, surprise

Good on Kansas. Also goes to show just how utterly out of touch the GOP is on a national level. Our current form of representative republic is doing a poor job of actually being representative of its populace.

Kansas leading the way forward. Good job!

[zzzroxyzzz]

This might be the most important vote ill cast in a long time. Damn proud I went and put mine in.

[pathos]

As a Kansan, I’ve learned to not expect the best from our state. This is a nice change of pace, glad to see it. Good job voters and remember the lesson learned from this going into future elections: if you show up you CAN make a difference.

Still some people with brains and good sense in Kansas!

[williamwyatt]

Thank you Kansas for voting for freedom of choice not only on abortion but everything in general. This is a statement that says you, politicians, will not dictate what Americans can do in a free country. Don't not restrict our individual choices and rights.

just like to say also, im a 63 yr old man from uk and this result from kansas has made me very emotional . freedom of choice is a right for every person in world.

Kansas voter here! Looks like Clarence Thomas might have just turned several red states purple!

[deadpolymers]

This is what choice looks like. The GOP's gambit of "send it to the states" so the state politicians can decide without a vote of the people, failed in Kansas at least. Too bad many other states are making the choice, without listening to the people.

[slicingonions]

Great job Kansas I wish the rest of the country would follow your lead, this is why no other state has put it to a vote because they want to do whatever they want to do and not have it a choice for people

[maxfastest]

Well that bit of nonsense backfired on those rubbish dealers !
They about to get schooled on what we the people really think about thier insanity.
😂😂😂

[jwbrown]

Nice Job Kansas. Now if we could only get the same kind of voting opportunity in Ky.

[christiananderson]

Damn right! Keep this momentum up, going into the midterms.

[thermodynamics]

The Republican strategists have made one tiny error.

Women can still vote! Ooooppppsss!!!

[edwsc]

I'm from Palm Beach, Florida and I'm SO proud of the people of KANSAS !!!

[countdebleauchamp]

Now that, is a landslide. Good show Kansas.

[toneloke]

Women's rights shall not be infringed upon, the rest of the nation will follow suit 🇺🇸

Abortion will always be a touchy subject. Both sides have their views when it comes to the issue neither of which is wrong or right. But should our government on a whole make laws what a person can and cannot do with their own body???? No and no person should be forced to be governed in that sort of fashion. People have the constitutional right to make a decision when it comes down to their health and well-being whether it is right or wrong.
