      This can also work against him and Democrats though. NYT had an article about it recently. They interviewed a Trump supporter in AZ who believed abortion was a right, but wanted to vote for Trump. She hoped this abortion measure would get on the ballot so she could vote for abortion, while voting for Trump. Despite the obvious and very public campaign pomise to severely limit abortion and Project 2025’s goal to ban it federally.

      An abortion ballot initiative will drive voters to the polls, but if they feel they are safe from losing abortion access, they may not feel like they need to support Dem candidates.

          If she was smart, she wouldn’t be a Trump supporter.

          The rest of us vote and prepare for the worst. The psyco in charge of 2025 is preparing the orders to execute people in the streets.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona abortion-rights supporters on Wednesday turned in more than double the signatures needed to put the issue on November’s ballot in the key swing state.

    The proposed constitutional amendment would allow abortions in Arizona until a fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks, with exceptions to save the parent’s life or to protect her physical or mental health.

    Allie Berry, campaign manager for Protect Our Rights, and organizers of a competing petition effort to codify Nebraska’s 12-week abortion ban in the state constitution would not say how many signatures they had gathered ahead of Wednesday’s deadline.

    Both efforts, as well as a third that would ban abortion at all stages by deeming embryos as people, must turn in around 123,000 valid signatures — or 10% of registered voters in the state — to qualify for the ballot.

    The 12-week ban proposal — which kicked off in March thanks to a $500,000 donation from Nebraska Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts — has made a furious 11th-hour push to gather signatures but has telegraphed that it might not meet the threshold.

    Supporters of an Arkansas proposal to scale back the state’s abortion ban face a Friday deadline to submit petitions to qualify for the November ballot.
