WASHINGTON — As crowds grew in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in the aftermath of a landmark ruling eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion, Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids’ campaign announced that, in Kansas, it would gather the next morning.
The campaign’s goal: to knock on voters’ doors in Johnson County and urge them to vote against a constitutional amendment that would do the same to Kansas’ constitution. The county is home to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park, which provides abortion services.
In about a month, Kansas will become the first state to vote in a new era of abortion rights — one in which states have the power to ban abortions. And as she faces a tough reelection campaign in a newly drawn congressional district, Davids is leaning into the debate.
