Kansas has voted to protect abortion rights

The conservative US state of Kansas has decided in a referendum to protect abortion rights - in a major victory for pro-choice groups.

It was the first electoral test of the issue since the US Supreme Court allowed states to ban the procedure.

One mother said: "In these days everything that we do affects the younger generations and if we don't get the correct laws into place now, there could be massive consequences later on."
