The next fight for reproductive freedom in this state focuses on the Kansas Supreme Court

In 2022, Kansas voters made history.

Just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Kansans rejected the anti-abortion “Value Them Both” amendment, becoming the first state to affirm reproductive freedom at the ballot box after the Dobbs decision.

Today, Kansas voters are being asked a very different question: whether to replace the merit-based process for selecting Kansas Supreme Court justices with one based on statewide judicial elections.

At first glance, these issues may seem unrelated. One concerns Kansans’ right to reproductive freedom. The other concerns judicial selection.

As a physician caring for patients in Kansas, I can see they are deeply connected.
