No Ballot Measures for 2026

Reproductive Freedom Amendment
Hoped for Ballot: Not likely this year (2026)
There is no Ballotpedia page, since it hasn’t made enough progress in the legislature to make it likely.
Current Status: Legislative proposal.
First reading March 4, 2025 assigned to Health & Long Term Care Committee:
The 2026 session ended on March 12 without further action. Unless a special session is called for it, it won’t be on the November 2026 ballot, and given the lack of activity that could have happened in the regular session and didn’t, this seems unlikely.
The resolution requires a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and the House before it would be sent to voters.
Abortion isn’t Freedom for Women
Setting aside the violence (and therefore lack of equal protection) done to unborn children, a point which proponents of this measure steadfastly ignore, the rhetoric they use about women also steadfastly ignores harm done. Here are some of the Consistent Life Network’s blog posts that explain this. They can offer good ideas for opponents of this measure to use in their work:
Abortion and Violence Against Pregnant Women
How Abortion is Useful for Rape Culture
The Message of “Never Rarely Sometimes Always”: Abortion Gets Sexual Predators Off the Hook
Abortion Facilitates Sex Abuse: Documentation
Isolating Women and Encouraging Jerks
