Which states could have abortion on the ballot in 2024? Arkansas organizers have joined the list

Organizers of an effort to scale back Arkansas’ abortion ban on say they have submitted enough signatures to get the measure on the November ballot. Arkansans for Limited Government on Friday submitted petitions with at least the 90,704 signatures from registered voters needed to qualify. Election officials now must begin checking the validity of the signatures. The submission brings to six the number of states where election officials are validating signatures on abortion measures. The measure would bar laws banning abortion in the first 20 weeks of gestation and allow abortion later in pregnancy in cases of rape, incest, threats to the woman’s health or life, or if the fetus would be unlikely to survive birth.
