rights protections for their stay constitution, voting it down 59 to 41%. now just to put that in a little bit more into context, to put the entire political earthquake into context, that ballot question was supposed to be an easy win for the antiabortion side. was not even supposed to be close. a recent poll said the 47% of kansans plan to vote yes on the amendment compared to no gland vote no. and republicans were supposed to cruise to victory with their demographic advantage. last night, most of the primary races were for republicans. there was not much incentive for democrats to even show up, aside for this one ballot question. and it was a strategic and very cynical question to put this question on the primary ballot, instead of the general election. proponents of the measure were hoping and planning for a low turnout. the question itself was intentionally garbled to confuse people. the text read in part quote, to the extent permitted by the constitution of the united s
we have a broken public health system or we have 82 counties within an ob/gyn, 18 counties of the family care doctor. we have nine counties without a physician at all, and in this climate we now have an abortion ban that denies women access to care. i am strongly pro-choice, because i understand that this is about freedom, this is about access and this is about right for women to choose their future. i believe that georgia is going to follow kansas s lead. we do not allow ballot initiatives in georgia until a ballot initiative is voting me as governor and of georgia. we know if you want to protect a woman s right to choose, her freedom to control her right her body and her future, to your point about kitchen table issues, if women want the ability to determine what their lives looked like economically and socially, then we have to let the governor who believes in women s rights. i m the only candidate in this race who does so. brian campus said that he is
kobak the kansas want to good leadership and in this case they wanted the right to freedom for women in that state. they refused to allow women to be relegated to second class citizenship, and i m proud of kansas and i m proud of america to take the steps we need to protect abortion care and united states of america. so, in your state of georgia, a federal appeals court allowed a six-week abortion ban to go into effect last month. what is the state of abortion access in georgia right now tonight? and what would you do as governor due to secure abortion rights? brian kemp passed an extreme, callous and dangerous abortion law in the state of georgia. it is a six-week abortion ban that bans abortion before most women know their pregnant. we have a broken public health system, where we have 82 counties without an ob/gyn, 18 counties without a family care doctor. we have nine counties without a physician at all, and in this climate we now have an abortion
if your primary care, your family care doctor is in the top 10% of doctors who send patients on to specialists your doctor will face a 5% cut not just on patients they sent to specialists on every patient they ve seen for the year. that will have a devastating effect. that policy doesn t care if you needed to see a especially specialist. it only maries that your doctor sent to you a specialist sean: one last question. you are a doctor, related to the president. will this plan that they re pushing and i think in a very corrupt way, do you believe this will harm and if you believe so, how greatly will it harm our health care system? i m afraid of what this could do to our system. because of these things they ve put into place. not only that the 30 extra million people without providing extra providers. we just learned from the new england journal of medicine, a significant percentage of doctors would
