Kansas votes 62% to retain the right to access an abortion in its constitution.

[Pommer]

They are defending the lives of babies. How can anything not be justified for such a goal?

When some get to the “capital punishment for abortionists and the women who get them!” point, it may already be “too late” for them.

Arkansas has a chance to catch up.

They said it couldn't be done in deep red Arkansas​

With no national support or attention, Arkansas women (and a few good men) did what everyone said couldn’t be done. On July 5, organizers turned in enough signatures to qualify an amendment to restore access to abortion in Arkansas. The amendment will restore access up to 18 weeks for any reason and thereafter has exceptions for rape, incest, fatal fetal anomaly, and life and health of the mother.

Arkansas is one of the few southern states to allow citizen-initiated referendums. However, in 2023 the legislature referred a constitutional amendment to the ballot that would make the process more difficult, increasing the number of qualifying counties from 15 to 50. The citizens of Arkansas soundly defeated the proposed amendment, but the legislature defied the clear will of the people and changed the constitution in their next legislative session. A lawsuit is currently pending challenging the 50-county requirement. Despite this, organizers qualified 54 counties and submitted 10,000 signatures over the total state-wide requirement.

Sad. They will all have to answer to Almighty God one day.

I doubt that.

 

[RileyG]

I doubt that.

Sorry. I very much believe in God, and the afterlife.

I respect your right to live as an atheist, but do not accept the atheist worldview.

Everything is random and no one created us? It’s all an accident and life has no meaning? I HIGHLY doubt that.

 

[Bradskii]

I HIGHLY doubt that.

Should have made it 80 counties.

This is even easier.

Arkansas election officials reject petitions submitted for an abortion rights ballot measure​

The Arkansas secretary of state’s office rejected the petitions for the effort to amend the state constitution, saying organizers had failed to include required statements regarding paid signature gatherers.

The group also said it had worked with the secretary of state’s office throughout the process, using affidavit paperwork supplied by the office to provide the state with a list of paid canvassers and the required information associated with their employment.

“Asserting now that we didn’t provide required documentation regarding paid canvassers is absurd and demonstrably, undeniably incorrect,” it said.

Antiabortion Republicans in Arkansas voiced approval of Thurston’s decision. Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said liberal abortion rights advocates in Arkansas “showed they are both immoral and incompetent.”

That's what you get for voting in Comical Huckabee as your Governor.

That's fine. In the meantime, there is no reason why they should answer to you.

Will you be my huckleberry (err bee)?

 

[RileyG]

That's fine. In the meantime, there is no reason why they should answer to you.

Of course not. Still doesn’t make it right.

Kansas votes to protect abortion rights in state constitution

Yay states rights.

Yay murder babies.

Yay murder babies.

It’s heartbreaking it ever became legal in the first place.

Nope, I’m not anti women for making that statement.

Did we say 90,000 signatures? Sorry, we meant “No!”

 

[Goonie]

Yay murder babies.

The judgement 2 years ago was states rights, same age as my post.

Until there’s the votes one way or the other at the federal level. The ruling has no restriction on federal legislation.

The universe wasn't created to make us happy. Nobody said everything is random.

Anything that doesn't actually inconvenience them, naturally.
