Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Planned Parenthood has been a major donor to the pro-choice campaign, while the Catholic Church has been a big funder of the effort to pass the amendment -- and a lot of cash has come in from out of state.
48% : On Aug. 2, the state's voters will decide the proposed "Value Them Both" amendment to the state constitution that would give the Kansas Legislature the power to regulate -- and, most likely, ban -- abortion.
43% : But in 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution protects a right to abortion.
37% : Will Kansas ban abortion -- or will this famously red state unexpectedly vote against restrictions?
36% : The state has a rather notorious history surrounding abortion.
