A Good Night for Abortion Rights
Quick Glance: Abortion Rights Victory in Kansas
  • Peter Slevin writes about a Kansas ballot initiative that, if enacted, would have removed abortion rights from the state constitution.

  • They purposefully placed an incomprehensible ballot question on a midterm primary ballot that has historically drawn considerably more Republican voters than Democrats or independents.

  • Voters temporarily halted a push for stricter abortion restrictions in the state, boosting the spirits of battered Democrats around the country.

  • "I have four daughters," Ashley All, the Kansans for Constitutional Freedom spokesperson, told reporters on Wednesday morning.

Quick Glance: Ecuadorean President Noboa seeks support for security measures in upcoming vote
  • Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa is aiming for voter support for a range of security measures in a national referendum on Sunday to address the increasing violence that has garnered international attention.

  • Noboa is urging voters to support joint police-military patrols, the extradition of wanted criminals, longer sentences for terrorism and murder, and other crimes to combat the rising violence attributed to drug gangs.

  • Opinion polls suggest that voters are likely to support Noboa, 36, in the 11-question referendum, despite potential dampening of support due to recent power outages. Passing five of the measures would lead to constitutional modifications.

  • Over the past decade, cocaine-smuggling gangs have spread across every corner of Latin America, transforming once peaceful nations like Ecuador into new battlefields, as indicated by security officials and diplomats.
