for Kansas. For so long we were set but the Supreme Court changed and I did not realize it had become this bad.

I am hoping that the people will vote to keep it but I feel very sad about what is likely going to happen. It seemed to be one of the few things that kept us from being Missouri or Texas or all the other states governing with religion and control as their main focus.

There is a vote, but they don't care about popular opinion anymore.

I remember the old days. The women dying and harmed from back alley butchers. Here we are again.

just because I have no hope does not mean that I will not fight it.

Depressed even though we knew this was coming.

I too remember and was part of the old days. It was not a fun time. We always had this hanging over our heads.
