Dear Editor,On June 22, 1965, George Ronald York and James Douglas Latham were hung, the last executions in the State of Kansas. On Jan. 2, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court disallowed many state restrictions on abortion in its Roe vs. Wade ruling.Now in 2016, 51 years after the last state execution and 43 years after abortion became a federally controlled matter we are being told we should not vote to retain four of our current Kansas Supreme Court Justices because of the death penalty and abortion law.Death penalty law and abortion law are state laws.
