The Post-Roe Landscape: Reproductive Rights Here at Home 

With abortion bans in effect across the Midwest and South, Kansas has become a critical access point for patients traveling hours from home. Missouri's own constitutional fight continues to play out. One element that has been crucial in this fight has been the response of people of faith in this moment. In a public conversation long dominated by anti-choice faith leaders, public advocacy and support by communities of faith has helped reframe access and empathy.
