Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : It was conservative legislators who placed the abortion ban on the ballot in Kansas -- not anti-abortion activists -- thinking they could solidify in their state the federal anti-abortion victory won at the Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision.
54% : "We believe every Kansan has a right to make personal health care decisions without government overreach," Jae Gray, an organizer for Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, told the Washington Post.
38% : They have gone on the offensive and put a ballot measure to voters in order to enshrine abortion access in their state before a trigger law banning abortion can take effect.
