The President’s Perspective
Carole Jordan, Chapter President
Now we are counting down to what may be the most important primary election in our state’s history, when voters will weigh in on an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that could cancel women’s and families’ rights to privacy and decision-making in matters of reproductive health. What a sad contrast to the progressive constitutional amendment of Nov. 5, 1912, that gave Kansas women the right to vote eight years before most of the rest of the country. Join us at the Kansas Statehouse July 16 at a march and rally for reproductive rights.
