KS Toronado's JournalWhat Rs mean when they say "abortions up to the moment of birth"
Got a flier in the mail from the person running against my Democratic Governor Laura Kelly, and claimed she
voted for abortions up to the moment of birth. Came with a flag note HB 2218 3/23/11, so I looked it up.

New Late-Term Abortion Restrictions—HB 2218
HB 2218 enacts new restrictions on certain late-term abortions. The bill adds a new
section that lists the Legislature’s findings on the capacity of an unborn child to feel pain.
HB 2218
The bill defines a “pain-capable child” as an unborn child that has reached the gestational
age of 22 weeks or more,...........
The bill also establishes the circumstances and procedures to be followed for exceptions
that would allow abortions where a pain-capable child is present, including cases where
specific medical conditions would lead the physician to believe the death of a pregnant
woman might result, or there might be a substantial and irreversible physical impairment
of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.
So yes KS allows abortions after 22 weeks if the life of the mother is at risk, and this is what repugs
claim is "abortions up to the moment of birth", kind of implying for any reason. They know how to use
"FEAR" tactics. And guess who signed it into law?
republican Gov. Sam Brownback, so I guess he also approves of "abortions up to the moment of birth"
Got a reQublicOn voting guide in the mail today
They said to vote NO on retention for all Judges except vote yes for Caleb Stegall. Guess they don't like
our Supreme Court. So if you haven't voted yet, VOTE NO on Caleb Stegall.
Also believe Court of Appeals Judge Kim Schroeder needs a NO VOTE
Warning - Fake Democrats at Your Door
“We have been informed there are people claiming to be Democrats going door to door in our district, offering to take people's ballots and turn them in. Please be aware that THIS IS A SCAM. There are NO Democrats from the ADP, MCDP, or LD12 Democrats knocking on doors to collect ballots. Don't fall for this illegal deception. The authorities are being informed.
Return your early ballot by mailing it back, dropping it in a ballot collection box, or going to a voting center. Everything you need to know about voting and returning your ballot can be found at https://elections.maricopa.gov/.”
Pro tip for AZ Dem voters: the armed people are hovering over ballot drop off boxes. They can’t harass people at every single mailbox. You can set up text notifications that your ballot has been received, signature checked, and counted. Don’t let assholes steal your vote.

Hello Arizona from KS, found above posted elsewhere and I felt it should be in the Arizona forum. Original post was from
quebedox who joined today and I assume is from Maricopa country. So go to above link and give them a DU welcome.
On our mail-in ballots
There's question about an amendment concerning Governor's powers, I believe is a repug power grab
to tie Kelly's hands. I voted NO, that how everybody else sees it?
