Kansas Supreme Court Affirms Abortion Rights, Strikes Down Restrictions

It's not a political thing, it's a small town thing. Tina can go three towns over and get an abortion no big deal, if she can't then the town is stuck with an unwanted kid they either all gotta watch or simply watch die.
Cue the Republicans in Kansas targeting the court justices.
Next year at SCOTUS: "Just kidding about the states' rights we talked about."
