Congrats Kansas!
This week , the people of Kansas voted to preserve abortion rights by rejecting a constitutional amendment that would have given the state legislature the power to ban abortion. In one of the most conservative states in the U.S., pro-abortion voters won by a margin of 18 percentage points.
This 2012 poster reflects a need for all of us to share and listen to abortion stories. Breaking the taboo surrounding this normal, life-saving medical care service is the first step in creating a culture of enthusiastic, safe acceptance. While the overturning of Roe v. Wade remains a devastating blow, the people of Kansas showed up to vote and clearly stated their opinion:
There is no shame in having an abortion!
