"2024 Ballot: Arizona Abortion Rights Amendment Backers Gather Signatures"

Arizona for Abortion Access coalition has gathered over 500,000 petition signatures, surpassing the threshold needed to put a constitutional amendment on abortion rights on the state's 2024 ballot. The proposed amendment aims to establish a "fundamental right" to receive abortion care up until fetal viability, with exceptions for the pregnant individual's health. This initiative comes amidst the Supreme Court's 2022 decision on Roe v. Wade and a state Supreme Court decision on an 1864 abortion ban. Both supporters and opponents are mobilizing, with the former aiming to double the required signatures and the latter preparing to scrutinize each signature.

"Missouri Activists Launch Campaign for Abortion Rights Amendment"

A coalition of Missouri abortion-rights organizations has launched a campaign to put a constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot, aiming to legalize abortion up until the point of fetal viability. The coalition, supported by groups such as Abortion Action Missouri, the ACLU of Missouri, and Planned Parenthood affiliates, plans to gather signatures to roll back the state's restrictive abortion ban. The proposed amendment would allow abortion after fetal viability, with provisions to protect the life or health of the pregnant person. The coalition faces a race to gather over 171,000 valid signatures by May, while also contending with a competing Republican-led ballot initiative.

Ohio's Recreational Marijuana Legalization Campaign Fails to Gain Traction

A proposal to legalize adult use of marijuana in Ohio fell just short of the required signatures to make it onto the fall statewide ballot, but backers have 10 days to gather more. If successful, Ohio would become the 24th state to legalize cannabis for adult use. The ballot measure would allow adults 21 and over to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and grow plants at home, with a 10% tax supporting administrative costs, addiction treatment, municipalities with dispensaries, and social equity and jobs programs.
