Kansas referendum will test change in abortion landscape since Roe fell

The ballot measure is the first of many across the country that will decide where and how women can preserve reproductive rights

In the first of a wave of referendums across the country on abortion rights, Kansas voters will decide on Tuesday whether the state's constitution protects the right to terminate a pregnancy.

Should Kansans pass the ballot measure, it would give state lawmakers leeway to ban the procedure, which they appear likely to do.
