"Abortion on the ballot? Not if these Republican lawmakers can help it.
Several bills would limit voters' power to override abortion restrictions that Republicans imposed"
—Politico
We must hold them accountable for their ridiculous and anti-democratic attempt to silence the will of the people.

John,
After an embarrassing defeat in the 2022 elections, anti-choice extremists have finally seen the writing on the wall—that abortion rights are incredibly popular and a winning issue on the ballot.
So rather than listening to the will of the people, MAGA Republicans are trying to rig the game. According to Politico:
|
"Legislatures in Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio and Oklahoma are debating bills this session that would hike the filing fees, raise the number of signatures required to get on the ballot, restrict who can collect signatures, mandate broader geographic distribution of signatures, and raise the vote threshold to pass an amendment from a majority to a supermajority. While the bills vary in wording, they would have the same impact: limiting voters' power to override abortion restrictions that Republicans imposed, which took effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year.
After watching the pro-abortion rights side win all six ballot initiative fights related to abortion in 2022—including in conservative states such as Kansas and Kentucky—conservatives fear, and are mobilizing to avoid, a repeat."

We can't let them get away with this. We're mobilizing to fight back against these measures now, and to hold these MAGA extremists accountable at the ballot box next year.
It's going to take every one of us to do it—will you pitch in right now?
Thank you for being in the fight,
NARAL Pro-Choice America
