Abortion-rights supporters received an enormous victory on Tuesday in Kansas, however their conclusion appears to be that in some way this can be a rebuke to Justice Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court docket. Removed from it, the vote defeating a constitutional modification to overturn a state Supreme Court docket ruling on abortion is a rousing vindication of Justice Alito’s majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
“The Kansas vote was a strong reply to the Supreme Court docket,” proclaims Washington Put up columnist David Von Drehle. John Harris of Politico writes, “So what does Alito assume now, within the wake of Kansas voters resoundingly rejecting a proposal to take away protections for abortion rights from their state structure?”
