Thank you
Kansas’s supreme court ruled that our state constitution not only protects the right to abortion, but protects it more robustly than the U.S. constitution does.
The ruling is called Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt. You can read the ruling in its entirety here, and you can read my live-tweeting of me reading the ruling here.
The body in mind
The Kansas state supreme court has declared that our state constitution provides protections for pregnant people above and beyond that of the U.S. supreme court in Roe v. Wade or Planned Parenthood v. Casey. In a six to one decision they determined that the Kansas constitution’s protection of a natural right to personal autonomy includes a protection of the right to an abortion.
As you might imagine, not everyone is happy about this. Kansas state senate president Susan Wagle is especially not happy about this, and penned an editorial in the Kansas City Star declaring abortion to be “barbaric” and also repeating several misleading statements about the current state of reproductive care in America.
For a legal breakdown of the case, please hop on over to the Opening Arguments podcast episode on this case, officially titled Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt.
Division
This comic is a tribute to the late Rachel Held Evans, 1981-2019. Specifically, to her 2013 essay entitled On being ‘divisive.’
