Should Kansas amend its constitution to allow abortions to be illegal?
Two Kansas professors have been invited to a meeting in Salina later this month to discuss all sides of the proposed constitutional amendment on abortion. Kansans will vote on the amendment in the Aug. 2 special election.
The discussion is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in the K-State Salina College Center conference room, 2310 Centennial Road. Refreshments will be served at the program, which is open to the public at no charge.
The event is co-sponsored by the Kansas Women Attorneys Association and the Salina League of Women Voters.
Constitutional law professor Jeff Jackson of Washburn University and Patrick Miller, associate professor of political science at the University of Kansas, have been asked to give a balanced view of what the proposed amendment says and what it means.
Salina League of Women Voters President Lori Trow said it is important that all registered Kansas voters understand that they can vote on this measure on the Aug. 2 primary ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. Whatever their political leanings, voters need to understand what they’re voting on, she said.
Trow said the program will be available on Zoom for those who can’t be there in person. Find the meeting link on the Salina League website calendar at www.lwvsalina.org/events/.
