(4,428 posts)It's not a federal issue any more. Dobbs returned the issue to the states, and the voters in Kansas affirmed that the state constitution protects abortion rights.
The U.S. Senators from Kansas are irrelevant at this point.

(12,651 posts)It's entirely possible and plausible that the Court may strike down a law protecting abortion saying it may exceed Congress's authority but on the face of the opinion, it doesn't seem to explicitly say Congress cannot step in. I would say it's not a 'federal courts' issue anymore. The federal courts was the only branch of government enforcing an abortion right.
