Seems Kansas may need to explicitly enshrine the right to abortion in their state constitution to make this go away. Even in red counties, choice is popular throughout Kansas as we saw in the referendum to ban abortion in the state last summer.
it strikes me specifically as desperate flailing by the far-right radicals in the state, because it’s pretty likely that in 2024 Republicans are going to lose their narrow supermajority in Kansas and be locked out of any chance of overturning the referendum they had last year until 2026 (or later). and by the time they get another chance the tides may have already permanently shifted
