Colorado group says it has enough signatures for abortion rights ballot measure

A Colorado campaign that's trying to enshrine abortion rights into the state's constitution has gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot this November, CBS News has learned.
To amend Colorado's constitution, petitioners must gather 124,238 signatures from the state's voters, including 2% of the total registered voters in each of Colorado's 35 Senate districts, according to the secretary of state's office.
Coloradans for Protecting Reproductive Freedom said its volunteers gathered more than 225,000 signatures and met the district requirements, as well. The deadline to turn the signatures in is April 18. A person familiar with the operation told CBS News that the group expects challenges from opposition groups on the validity of the signatures.
The announcement underscores the ongoing push to put abortion on the ballot at the state level after the Supreme Court ended federal abortion protections with the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which struck down the landmark decision Roe v. Wade.
Last week, the Florida Supreme Court cleared the way for an abortion rights constitutional amendment to appear on the ballot this fall, and Arizona organizers also announced that they've surpassed the signature threshold for a ballot measure.

How many states can they get to make abortion the issue this election?

Pretty sad that the only way Democrats can win is by making abortion an issue.

Gotta give Dems credit. They know their audience and where to apply pressure.
Republicans can fricking never figure that out.

What an evil nation we live in. The thing that gets people to vote is the "right" to kill their own children.

They are going to get this on the ballot in several states and that will drive the turnout. This could secure a win for the leftists in the White House, Senate and House.
