After the cancellation of the Roe v Wade decision, which recognised the right to abortion in the USA, a referendum was held for the first time in a state to “protect the right to abortion”, and abortion advocates gained gains with the referendum.
In the primary elections held yesterday in the USA, the abortion right vote in the state of Kansas resulted in a victory.
It was announced that the referendum on the protection of the right to abortion after the Supreme Court cancelled the Roe v Wade decision, which provides legal guarantees for the right to abortion, came out “yes” with a critical difference. Thus, it is aimed to prevent changes in the regulations that provide legal guarantees for the right to abortion in the state. US President Joe Biden announced that he welcomed the decision in his statement after the referendum.

According to The Guardian, for the first time in the US, a referendum was held in a state to “protect the right to abortion” after the Roe v Wade decision was overturned. In the news article, it was pointed out that Kansas has become a “safe haven” for women due to the implementation of decisions targeting the right to abortion in many states of the country. Democrat Dinah Sikes, Kansas state senator, made a statement after the vote resulted in favour of protecting the right to abortion: “This is great, women’s voices are being heard”.
Rachel Sweet, one of the campaigners for the referendum on abortion rights in the state, stated that “they won despite everything, they did not despair during the campaign period”. “We knocked on tens of thousands of doors and made hundreds of thousands of phone calls. We will not tolerate bans on abortion in our state.”
