(SRN NEWS) – Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says he has no issue with kicker Harrison Butker forming a political action committee designed to encourage Christians to vote for traditional values. Butker announced his UPRIGHT PAC this month. Hunt says the Chiefs have players “on both sides of the political spectrum” and he supports efforts to make a difference. The Hunt family has supported a group urging Missouri voters to reject a ballot measure that would overturn a near-total ban on abortion in the state. Butker has drawn attention for his pro-life views.
A new study finds that Asian-American Evangelical Christians are an evolving group of voters who are increasingly seeking to make their voices heard. The vast majority hold conservative views on abortion and homosexuality, but they widely consider themselves Evangelical in a theological sense rather than viewing it as a political identity. Asian Americans are the fastest growing voting bloc in the country along with Latinos. Among Asian Americans, Christians are the single largest group of voters, followed by those unaffiliated with any particular religion.
Voters in Nebraska will see competing abortion measures on their ballots in November. One amendment would create a right to abortion while another would restrict it. What happens if the competing measures both pass? The constitution in Nebraska says that the conflicting provision with the most votes prevails. But courts may have to decide whether there’s a conflict and whether parts of both measures can take effect. None of the other nine states with abortion on the ballot feature competing amendments, though some have vague language.
Democrats pushed to get a constitutional amendment on New York’s ballot this November because they believed it could energize liberals eager to promote abortion. Republicans are now hoping the same amendment will ignite a fire under people upset about men participating in girls’ and women’s sports. The broad language of the state’s proposed Equal Rights Amendment has been at the center of court fights and is emerging as one of the more unusual ideological battles of the 2024 election season, in part because of disagreements about what it will actually do.
