The Kansas Supreme Court ruled (rightly) that by precedent and voter will, Kansas’s constitution protects the right to abortion and does not allow the state congress to legislate on it. Hence the Senate bill cannot stand, because it would be a violation of the state constitution.
This is because of precedent and this ballot measure from 2022 which specifically said, by a no vote, that the state legislature does not have the authority to pass laws regarding abortion.
To be clear, the original comment said that an amendment was “in the pipeline this year.” Not that it was done 2 years ago. So, once again, Im clarifying that the original comment is still incorrect

Sure, yeah, I was confused about what they meant too.
