Advancing Life and Liberty Through Action
There were 10 pro-abortion ballot initiatives attempting to codify a right to abortion this election cycle.
Florida became the first state to defeat an abortion ballot despite being outspent $110 million to $3 million. Added to this massive $110 million-dollar figure is another $27 million spent on gathering signatures to place Amendment 4 on the ballot. Despite spending at least $137 million on Amendment 4, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, with support from George Soros, failed to reach the threshold to amend the Florida Constitution.
Nebraska also had a pro-life measure – the only one in the nation – which passed and will constitutionally protect unborn life in the state after the first trimester.
While three abortion amendments failed, seven amendments succeeded in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and New York.
These amendments are particularly decisive because they change a state's constitution, override previous state abortion laws, and can only be reversed by voters through a different ballot measure. Most of the pro-abortion amendments decided on election night involved sweeping, and often vague, undefined language which will have drastic effects in the states that ratified them.
But the fight isn't over. Liberty Counsel Action will continue to battle at the state level to protect the unborn in our nation.
