Kansas voters overwhelmingly upheld the right to an abortion, a surprisingly emphatic blow in a deep red state against anti-abortion advocates in the nation’s first test vote on abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Advocates both for and against abortion in Kansas expected the vote to be close ahead of Tuesday night’s primary, but the margin was so decisive – 61%-39% – that news outlets called the vote fewer than two hours after polls closed.
