How do we live with evil? That is one of the questions raised by the outcome of Tuesday’s Kansas abortion vote.
Kansas’s supreme court, like the federal one, read a right to abortion into a constitution that didn’t really say anything about the question, in an act of illegitimate judicial lawmaking. But an effort by Kansas voters to correct that via the ballot box has failed, at least for now. The vote wasn’t even particularly close, something that may surprise you if you don’t know much about the politics of Kansas, which is traditionally a very Republican state but not an especially conservative one.
