Excerpts from Kansas Anti Abortion "Concession"

“We are not going anywhere”

“Our movement has endured so much over 50 years”

“Our resolve has never been stronger than at this very moment”

“I don’t see this vote as a referendum. I see this really being a vote of no against the constitutional amendment was a vote of fear.”

“In this difficult time, in this time of confusion, we know that our state will have better days ahead of us.”

Urged supporters to “change the hearts and minds of Kansans who don’t fully comprehend what is at stake.”

And on and on.


There also was talk of yet another constitutional amendment designed to actually ban abortion. Because that would rile up their base. Nothing definite on that idea yet. And of course no talk of expanding Medicaid. And Catholics bragged about the great things they do for the universe. Like spending 100s of thousands of tax free dollars on new rectories in the state. But I digress.
