| "The anti-abortion side used confusing language in the amendment, which suggested a yes vote would ban taxpayer funding of abortions -- a ban that already exists -- or allow for laws protecting victims of rape and incest, who already have legal access to abortion." | Negative | -22% Liberal |

| "The most dismal aspect of our political climate is the ease with which many liberals and progressives dismiss and disdain whole states and regions -- as though every Kentucky flood victim voted for Mitch McCoell, as though ideology should be a litmus test for assistance amid acute suffering, as though such places are undeserving charity cases rather than rural landscapes from which resources are extracted to make possible the lives of urban dwellers who sit in judgment." | Negative | -4% Liberal |
| "Had they succeeded in doing so with the voter initiative on Tuesday, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, who is up for re-election this fall, no doubt would have vetoed subsequent anti-abortion legislation." | Negative | -14% Liberal |
| "Fourteen Kansas counties that went for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, as well as all five that went for Joe Biden, saw majority votes against the amendment." | Positive | 6% Conservative |
