"Value Them Both" is the response of the people of Kansas to limitless abortion that was unleashed in Kansas by the Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt decision of the Kansas Supreme Court.  This amendment will ensure that the people can regulate the abortion industry in Kansas if they so desire.  The Value Them Both amendment is not a ban on abortion, but simply ensures the people can place basic regulations to protect both mothers and babies.  The KS Court's ruling has enshrined it as a constitutional right in Kansas.  This amendment lets the people, through their elected representatives decide on how abortions should be managed in Kansas.  We call on all legislators in Kansas to let the people vote.  For more information go to:
