Kansas abortion referendum, a win for democracy and states rights.

 ABORTION RULES BEING DECIDED BY THE PEOPLE BETTER THAN BY THE COURT

IT WILL BE A PROCESS NOT A SIMPLE DECISION

Much is made of the referendum results in Kansas that upheld the right to abortion. While I doubt it is the final say on this matter in Kansas, it is a first step in the process of reaching a consensus on this divisive matter. The goal for everyone is to come to a result that is acceptable to the vast majority of the citizens of these states. This will be in the best interests of all.

I doubt that in the end there will be many states that outlaw abortion without exceptions nor do I believe there will be many who legalize abortions without restrictions. This is going to be a process that may take a few years to evolve, but hopefully, in the end it will result in an end to the extremes on both sides and reach a reasonable consensus in each state. Real democracy in action.

The supreme court's overturning of Roe will be, in the long run, in the best interest of the country. The greatest impact is that it will remove this issue from the legislature of the federal government and let it be decided by the people in the states. This should at least relieve 1 divisive issue from the federal government.

Those on both sides who want to continue making this a federal matter should be rejected by the citizens of this country. This issue should no longer be an issue in federal elections and those who want to continue it, should be soundly rejected by the electorate. It is no longer a federal matter. 

We see some who are unwilling to let the process play out and are pushing for the federal government to pass legislation on this issue. Just another opportunity to create political division. They should just let the process play out.

Both sides need to fashion referendums that do not contain poison pills or a continual diatribe about theoretical cases in an effort to continue the emotional controversy.  Most all support exceptions for physical health of the mother and at the same time must realize that could be used by the insincere to apply to everyone. Those individuals or groups who are not sincere to find a real solution should be soundly defeated by the electorate.

The states will eventually work out reasonable results if there is a sincere effort by both sides. Again, this is how democracy works.
