ChiGoose Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Good to see! Nevada abortion rights amendment surpasses signature threshold for ballot "The organization behind a proposed effort to enshrine abortion rights in Nevada's constitution says they've garnered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom is pushing to change the state constitution to include the right to an abortion until fetal viability. In a release sent Tuesday, the campaign said they've gathered 110,000 signatures, which surpasses the 102,362 threshold to qualify for the ballot. Of those, 25,591 signatures need to be from each of the state's four congressional districts. The organization said they're actively collecting signatures from all congressional districts. Political groups often try to gather well over the minimum requirement of signatures because many signatures are invalid for various reasons. Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom says that the 110,000 signatures is 50% of their goal for this measure. “We are overwhelmed by Nevadans’ enthusiasm for protecting our reproductive rights and by the eagerness that voters across the political spectrum have shown for our petition. With more than 110,000 signatures gathered in less than six weeks, it’s a true testament to the fact that Nevadans recognize the importance in codifying reproductive freedom into our state constitution. As we continue to see new attacks on abortion access around the country, Nevadans recognize that there is real urgency to get this measure on the ballot and passed,” said president Lindsey Harmon. Abortion rights up to 24 weeks are already codified into Nevada law through a 1990 referendum vote, where two-thirds of voters were in favor. That can be changed with another referendum vote. Abortion rights have become a mobilizing issue for Democrats since the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 court decision establishing a nationwide right to abortion. Public polling shows about two-thirds of Americans say abortion should generally be legal in the earliest stages of pregnancy. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, that sentiment has been underscored in elections both in Democratic and deeply Republican states. The standards are higher for amending the constitution, which requires either approval from two legislative sessions and an election, or two consecutive elections with a simple majority of votes. In Nevada, reproductive rights were central to Democratic campaigns in the 2022 midterms. It is set to be a central issue for Democratic U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen as she looks to defend her seat in 2024. Another broader proposed ballot question seeking to enshrine various reproductive freedoms in Nevada's constitution is awaiting a decision from the state supreme court. The deadline to collect signatures is June 26 and then it will head to the Secretary of State's office for verification." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/02/republican-abortion-election-challenge/ Conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation are already urging Trump to issue an executive order on Day 1 banning medication abortion,” Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern wrote last week. “Republican lawyers are preparing to use the Comstock Act to prohibit all abortions, not just pills.” In short, MAGA Republicans might try to apply this “zombie relic” law so widely that a Trump Justice Department could push to “make all abortion care a felony.” Democrats are bound to highlight that shocking prospect ahead of the November elections.

KDIGGZ Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) My rule would be if you want to have an abortion then they get to sterilize you as you have clearly shown you can't be trusted with such rights. You can then apply in the future for a reversal once you are married and have a steady income and can show that you can support a family. Fair compromise?

Apparently, abortion opponents will propose absolutely anything unless it addresses the root cause of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or all males post puberty can get a vasectomy and then get it undone when they are mature enough to be a father. It takes two, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically every lawyer looking at these laws: “life of the mother” means you are potentially liable if you terminate a pregnancy with a “heartbeat” (even if it’s nonviable) when the mother’s life is not at risk.

Tommy Callahan Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) The FARM has its talking points to run with. That medication should not be mail order., as it has bad side effects if used after certain dates. The courts ruled it's a state issue. Every voter has stronger representation at the local, state level than federal. Edited April 9 by Tommy Callahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
