Part 7/14:

In Kansas, a traditionally conservative state, the primary election saw a surprising rejection of a ballot measure aimed at removing abortion rights from the state Constitution. This vote demonstrated that abortion can serve as a galvanizing issue across party lines, with roughly one-third of Republican voters showing support for maintaining reproductive rights. Experts suggest that this reversal could serve as a precedent nationally, as abortion shifts from a peripheral issue to a central battleground in midterm politics.
