Better sex education in schools can help young people affected by abortion bans

Recently, Kansas voters soundly rejected a referendum that would have ensured more abortion restrictions in the solidly red state. This led to predictions that conservatives may pay a price in upcoming elections for the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson's Women's Health Organization, which undid the constitutional protection for abortion rights long established by ...
