46% : In Kansas -- where abortion was on the ballot in a special election in August -- Democratic Governor Laura Kelly was re-elected but Republicans took most other seats.
45% : If only we saw that passion for protecting abortion extended to ousting the politicians desperate to rob us of that very right.
43% : A midterm election poll conducted by the African American Research Collaborative found that abortion was the second most important issue to voters (just behind inflation/cost of living).
34% :Voters across the country are making it clear that abortion is an important issue.
32% :Kentucky has two abortion bans in place but voters just rejected a proposed amendment that would have said there is no right to abortion or any requirement to fund abortion in their state constitution.
32% : Abortion is proving to be an issue that will drive people to the polls to protect it.
28% : They even elected the impossibly terrible Kris Kobach as Attorney General, despite his recent pledge to "slowly and quietly" strip Kansans of the right to abortion they just turned out in droves to protect.
24% : Voters in Kentucky rejected a constitutional ban on abortion but overwhelmingly re-elected their staunchly anti-abortion Republican Senator Rand Paul, along with a slew of Republican members of the U.S. House and the state legislature.
