Vermont Poised to Add Abortion Language to Constitution

This legislative action, which was also tried in Kansas, is a preemptive defense against the unlikely possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned. Abortion rights groups have revved their engines and dug in their heels, insisting that President Trump’s nominees to the high court will erase the law of the land in one foul swoop, in order to instill fear in voters, of course.
