US-VOTE-POLITICS-ABORTION-KANSAS

Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS) shares a group hug with women during the pro-choice Kansas for Constitutional Freedom primary election watch party in Overland Park, Kansas August 2, 2022. - Abortion rights advocates and opponents looked anxiously to Kansas Tuesday as the Midwestern US state held the first major vote on the flashpoint issue since the Supreme Court overturned the national right to the procedure in June. The vote is heavy with consequences for Kansans, who will decide whether to remove the right to terminate a pregnancy from the traditionally conservative state's constitution.
