Pro-life activists defeated in Kansas abortion vote

Published

The people have spoken and pro-life activists have been defeated in the Kansas abortion vote

More than 900,000 ballots were cast in the Kansas abortion vote – a third of the state’s total population.

Of this number, 60 per cent said no to removing the constitutional right to abortion.

Pro-choice advocates right across the United States have celebrated the result. The vote was the first public test of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Now the question is what’s next for abortion bans? And do they even stand a chance?

Kansas is a deeply red state, but when it comes to abortion, it seems to be more purple (or violet, even).

Republican Kansan lawmakers had hoped the vote would pave the way for more restrictive laws in the future.

This evidently backfired and experts say the result in itself will reverberate far beyond the region’s borders.

Montana has added abortion to the ballot for the upcoming November midterm elections.

In Kentucky, voters will also have the opportunity to decide whether laws should be amended.

These are the ones to watch to see whether the Republican’s anti-abortion rhetoric actually stacks up.

On the other side of the coin, California and Vermont are pushing to further enshrine the medical procedure in their respective constitutions.

Do American voters in conservative states even want to restrict abortion?

It doesn’t seem so.

A new poll has found only a quarter of residents want their state to ban abortion following the overturning of Roe.

This number includes less than a third of people who live in states already outlawing the procedure.

The Kansas abortion vote and this new polling will almost certainly have Red State Republicans shaking in their boots.

Should they stick with their decision to support anti-abortion laws and risk public dissatisfaction? Or do they push ahead and hope for the best?

Only time will tell.

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

U.S. home prices surge 47%

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
