The U.S. Supreme court ruling eliminating the constitutional right to abortion was celebrated on Friday by U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley who said it would change the shape of American politics for the next decade.
The Republican from Missouri said on the call that he thinks this is going to be a landmark moment in American politics. Another period of change in American politics is on the way.
The landmark decision, in which six conservative justices overturned a nearly 50-year-old precedent, is likely to send ripples through American politics as access to abortion will be determined by where you live.
Some states, like California, immediately embraced abortion rights, while others, like Missouri, immediately restricted it.
He predicted that people will base their decisions about abortion on where they live.
The effect will be that more and more red states are going to become more red, purple states are going to become red and the blue states are going to get a lot bluer. I would like to see Republicans extend their strength in the electoral college. That is very positive news.
The realignment would mean that social conservatives would no longer have to work with fiscal conservatives in politics, resulting in a more populist, conservative Republican Party.
The mayor of Kansas City criticized his prediction, saying that moving isn't an option for many people with conservative roots.
Lucas wrote that he was born here. I hope enough like minded people stay here so that we change things here.
Kansas will be the first state to put voter opinion to the test when it comes to abortion rights. In August, Kansans will vote on whether to add language to the constitution that says abortion is not a right.
The politicians in Kansas weighed in on the vote on Friday, citing the heightened stakes now that the Supreme Court has officially overturned the decision. Many Missourians travel to Kansas to get an abortion as a result of the vote.
Davids encouraged Kansans to vote against the amendment. She co-sponsored a bill that would have guaranteed access to abortion. The bill was defeated in the US Senate.
Davids said that this is no longer hyperbole. Kansas is at a major decision point after 50 years of being protected from the most extreme attempts to control people's decisions about their bodies.
A new congressional map adds Republican voters to her district in a year when Democrats are expected to struggle in the polls. The vote on the constitutional amendment was not taken into account by her opponent. She criticized David's position on abortion.
The Supreme Court gave voters more of a say on the issue of abortion by returning decisions to the states. Most Kansans agree that we want to reduce the number of abortions, support parents of minor children who are seeking an abortion, and oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.
There are provisions in Kansas. The 3rd Congressional District was out of touch with her position.
The Kansas vote wouldn't ban abortions, but it would make it possible for the legislature to impose harsher restrictions. Republicans haven't said if that's their intent.
Jerry Moran didn't mention the amendment when he said he supported the decision and that abortion rights will now be decided by the states. Roger Marshall didn't say anything in his video statement.
Jake LaTurner hopes that Kansans will support the amendment so that they can follow in the footsteps of other states that have already banned same-sex marriage.
This ruling won't protect life in Kansas. It is more important than ever that Kansans vote to pass the Value Them Both Amendment to make sure our state doesn't become a hub for unlimited abortions.
It's possible that the vote will show how people vote on abortion. The issue of abortion helped grow the Christian Right and many conservatives voted because of it. Democrats see the issue as a motivator for those who want to guarantee abortion access.
Two of the top Democratic candidates in the primary for U.S. Senate were quick to condemn the decision. The Republican candidates in the race welcomed the decision and the ban on abortion.
