A preeminent anti-abortion organization is sounding the alarm over provisions in ballot measures that could enshrine abortions up until birth in some states.
“Current pro-abortion lawfare proves state abortion ballot measures are Trojan horses for overturning pro-parent, pro-life laws,” Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) warned in a recent memo.
“Advocates use abortion amendments to challenge parental rights and force taxpayer-funded, all-trimester abortion through litigation,” the group added. “They are quickly building legal precedent through such lawfare that will allow them to use state constitutional amendments to do away with commonsense state laws and enact policies that go well beyond ‘restoring Roe.’ ”
At least 10 states have ballot measures related to abortion up for consideration on Nov. 5 — including conservative-leaning Arizona, Florida, Montana, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota as well as blue states like Colorado, Maryland and New York.
While many of the referenda are billed simply as a means of restoring abortion rights first established by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade more than 50 years ago, SBA argued that the proposals use open-ended language that could go beyond the 1973 decision…
