Arkansas’s Top Court Rejects Abortion Ballot Measure over Technicality

HeadlineAug 23, 2024

Back in the U.S., voters in Arkansas will not be weighing in on a ballot measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution, after Arkansas’s Supreme Court rejected a grassroots ballot initiative over a technicality on how signatures were registered. Abortions are currently banned in Arkansas with limited exceptions for severe medical emergencies. The group that gathered the signatures, Arkansans for Limited Government, vowed to keep fighting, saying, “This effort has generated a wave of fiercely engaged Arkansas women. We are outraged. We will not back down. And we will remember this in November.”
