Kansas result provides blueprint for activists to fight back against abortion restrictions ➡️ Activists said even counties that voted strongly for Donald Trump voted to keep abortion 🔍 Analysis from danielgbates

A third featured a pastor saying that he did not want to “replace religious freedom with government control”. Even counties which were strongly for Mr Trump voted to keep abortion, activists who knocked doors said after the result was announced. Leavenworth County for example, voted 61 to 39 percent to keep abortion even though Mr Trump won there by 21 percent two years ago.

The ruling has taken on even more significance since Roe v Wade was overturned as the Supreme Court said that it should be up to individual states to decide.
