Kansas legislators are expecting a close vote on a measure aimed at preserving their power to regulate abortion. Backers aren't sure they have enough support yet to get it on the ballot. The Kansas House on Thursday debated a proposed amendment to the state constitution to overturn a Kansas Supreme Court decision declaring access to abortion a "fundamental" right under the state's Bill of Rights. House members expected a final vote Friday to determine whether the measure goes on the August primary ballot after the Senate passed it last month. Approval by a simple majority of voters would change the constitution.
