Kansans delivered a huge win for abortion rights in the US on Tuesday night when they voted to continue to protect abortion in the state constitution. A deeply conservative and usually reliably Republican state, Kansas was the first in the US to put abortion rights to a vote since the US supreme court ruled to overturn Roe v Wade in late June. The Kansas vote will be seen as a significant loss for the anti-abortion movement and a major win for pro-choice advocates who will see the result as a bellwether for popular opinion across the US
