Families, communities, states, and nations are stronger when individuals value life from conception to natural death. Ten states had abortion on the ballots on Tuesday, voters in some of them voted to protect life while others voted to allow abortions.
Elizabeth (Troutman) Mitchell, the reporting fellow for The Daily Signal and co-host of “The Daily Signal Podcast, shared a summary of the results.
South Dakota Pro-Lifers Score Win
South Dakotans struck down an abortion
amendment that would have allowed abortion right up until birth for nearly any
reason that a doctor thinks is a “health” risk to the mother.
Almost 60% of South Dakota voters rejected
what some opponents called a radical abortion initiative….
Nebraska Voters Decide to Protect Life
Nebraska voters said “no” to a ballot
initiative that would have enshrined a right to abortion up to viability in the
Nebraska Constitution.
The initiative defined fetal viability as “the
point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient’s treating
health care practitioner, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus’
sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary
medical measures.” …
Arizona Voters OK Abortion Throughout
Pregnancy
Arizona voted to enshrine abortion up to
birth in the state Constitution.
Arizona’s amendment establishes a “fundamental
right to abortion” and prohibits laws that deny, restrict, or interfere with
abortions after fetal viability when the procedures are “necessary to protect
the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual.”
The pro-abortion lobby reportedly outspent
the pro-life side 26 to 1.
Montana Pro-Abortion Lobby Achieves Win
Montana voters approved a ballot question
to enshrine limitless abortion in the state Constitution.
Pro-abortion advocates of the amendment
outspent the pro-life side 86 to 1.
Montana currently allows late-term
abortions if a woman’s life is in danger.
Missouri Approves ‘Fundamental Right’ to
Abortion
Voters in Missouri approved a ballot
measure to include a fundamental right to abortion in the Missouri
Constitution.
Missouri’s ballot measure, titled “The
Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative,” enshrines the right to abortion in
state law. The measure allows the state Legislature to pass laws regulating
abortion after fetal viability, but also prohibits lawmakers from restricting
abortions “needed to protect the life or physical or mental health of the
pregnant person.” …
The pro-abortion side reportedly spent 103
times more than the pro-life side.
Colorado Voters Pick Limitless Abortion
Colorado voters opted to enshrine abortion
up to birth in the state Constitution….
Colorado currently has no restrictions on
abortion and a statute already protects it.
New York Oks Pro-Abortion Measure
New Yorkers cast their ballots to expand the
state’s “Equal Rights Amendment” antidiscrimination protections by including
abortion.
New York already had virtually no
protection for unborn life in the womb….
Maryland Voters Solidify Pro-Abortion
Stance
In Maryland, voters decided to protect the
“right” to abortion up to birth in the state Constitution….
Florida to Remain a Pro-Life State
Florida’s Amendment 4 will not gin a large
enough majority of voters to enshrine abortion up to birth into the state
Constitution, said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican….
A favorable vote of at least 60% was
needed to make Amendment 4 part of the state Constitution….
One
of the Ten Commandments condemns murder – deliberately taking the life of
another person. Voters in South Dakota, Nebraska, Florida, and possibly
Missouri voted to protect the lives of innocent, unborn babies. By doing so,
they may have extended God’s protection to all people in the United States.
America
fought a Civil War – a war of four years that took more than 600,000 American
lives – over the sin of slavery. Other civilizations have been destroyed when
they became too wicked. I fear the price that all Americans will be forced to
pay because of abortion.
