Is Kansas going to be a bellwether on what happens when reproductive rights are put directly to voters? 

[josh]

The GOP is busy mocking disabled people and accommodations, yet again.

USA!  USA!  USA!!!

Democrats combat terrorism.

Republicans cause and cultivate terrorism.

It is an important difference between the two political parties.

Other states' dissimilarity to Kansas.

The population of Kansas is made up of women, people who love women, and republicans just like everywhere else in the country.

They stuck this in a primary election where most candidates are GOP. They

[Holly Martins]

Yep.  Many Democrats wouldn't even bother to vote because there's not a Dem contest, so they have to be persuaded it's worth hitting the polls for one box check.  South Dakota had that same situation this Spring.  I voted for the sake of one referendum vote.  I think KS is going to mobilize a lot of people today who would otherwise skip it.

The deal, if it holds, is very big, several times as large as anything on climate the United States passed into law before... (backers) are already calculating that it could reduce American carbon emissions by 40 percent, compared with 2005 levels, by 2030.

Also this, a separate article in the NYT details the present plan:

Hope the administration can help widen the bottlenecks on rare earth elements, lithium, and semiconductor chips.

But anyone can show up for this important vote.

That is absurd bullshit.
In 20 years and untold billions spent on wind and solar the total US energy fueled by gas, and coal and other carbons is 82 per cent down a scant 2+%. Wind/solar contribute 2.6 per cent.
Alternate Energy does not equate to REPLACEMENT energy.
More important, reducing US Carbon Emissions to ZERO would wreck our economy and have ZERO effect on world climate . As John Kerry blurted out a year ago the Biden green agenda will have no effect on climate unless countries like China and India join, which they already declared they will not.
