Conservatives are testing new tactics to keep abortion off the ballot following a series of high-profile defeats.
Republicans are also appealing to state courts to keep referendums off the ballot, while GOP lawmakers in states including Missouri and Oklahoma are pushing to raise the threshold for an amendment to pass or to make it to the ballot in the first place.
“I do not want to see abortion put in our constitution,” said Rep. Brad Hudson, a Missouri Republican. “I believe the right to life is a fundamental right that all human beings have and certainly should not be taken away because of a vote by a simple majority.”
“Just because the abortion lobby wants to come in like carpetbaggers to get out the vote for Democrats, you don’t have to help them,” said Kristi Hamrick, the chief policy strategist for Students for Life. “Just because someone shoves a clipboard in your face, you don’t have to sign.”
To stop more states across the political spectrum from restoring or codifying Roe-like protections, national and local anti-abortion groups have launched “decline to sign” campaigns to thwart groups working to put abortion rights on the 2024 ballot — hoping to prevent the issue from coming before voters.

"How can Republicans support trump?"
Well, maybe it's because they don't believe in democracy. Voting. All that messy stuff.
Conservatives move to keep abortion off the 2024 ballot
“We don’t believe those rights should be subjected to majority vote.”

The Dobbs decision was the biggest gift to Democrats since mail-in voting.
Conservatives would have been far better off electorally had they simply allowed women to continue killing their babies (clumps of cells) anywhere and anytime they pleased.

Numerous religious entities telling their cult followers to intimidate and harass people trying to get signatures. Just what Jesus would do. SMH.

“We don't believe those rights should be subjected to majority vote.”"
Pretty much sums it up on all voting. Republicans know their positions aren't in the majority, so screw democratic voting..

I just don't think abortion should be voted on, I think women should have their choice
@9HPL9V95mos5MO
I read about abortion and I think it's the person's right to decide.
@9HPPG4D5mos5MO
As a male, males should not have a say in what women do with their body

@9HPQY245mos5MO
I think all women should have a right to there own choice.
