In record numbers, Kansas voters went to the polls Tuesday and definitively told conservative state legislators to back off from trying to take away abortion rights. They can — and should — vote for constitutional amendments that protect abortion rights and vote down amendments that won’t. And they can vote against candidates who would take away abortion rights. It took a lot of advocates on the ground in Kansas assembling a broad coalition to achieve a victory to protect constitutional rights. And voters in California and Vermont, where abortion rights are secure, can vote in November to enshrine abortion rights into their constitutions.
