The abortion question in 5 states [View all]

KANSAS, first state to protect abortion by vote sending shockwaves through the Republican party. This past Tuesday Montana, Kentucky, Vermont, MI and California all had ballot measures re: abortion rights. California and Michigan was predictable. But Montana and Kentucky. Anyone but me find it fascinating that these very red states, Kansas, Montana and Kentucky ALL passed ballot measures to PROTECT abortion in their states. Yet their states stayed solid red. Pro Life my ass.
