Kansas women rally adjacent to J.D. Vance fundraiser, with vulnerable plea for reproductive rights

LEAWOOD — Amber Dickinson took a personal and vulnerable stand for reproductive freedom as she talked publicly for the first time about being raped.

Before her speech Thursday in Leawood at a rally of “Kansas Women for Kamala Harris,” only a handful of people knew she is a survivor. Through tears, she explained that she was worried she would stand in front of strangers and cry, when she was supposed to be strong.

“But whose definition of strong are we obligated to adhere to? It is time that women create their own definition of strength,” Dickinson said. “Because strength is not sexually abusing women like Donald Trump. Strength is not belittling women like J.D. Vance.”

Dickinson, a political science professor at Washburn University who has written opinion columns for Kansas Reflector, joined speakers who highlighted the ways Harris’ and former President Donald Trump’s policies affect Kansans. The rally was a counter-protest to Vance’s nearby fundraiser, where Republicans claimed he raised $1.5 million.

1. Rethuglicans said they are concerned about inflation (under control), border security (they trashed a bill that would

have made a big difference in that), and government regulation (they mean their right to poison us, but it's okay to regulate our vajayjay.

I'm glad we are going head to head with their B$ fantasy of the GOP being good for anything but greed, ignorance and evil.
