Although many states enshrined abortion in their constitutions, 3 states saw powerful victories for life on Election Day.

From Daily Caller. Pro-life groups are celebrating wins in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota after those states voted down measures to enshrine a right to abortion into their constitutions, preventing a nationwide sweep on the issue.

Talk about issues like these on The Community.

 

Seven other states — Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and New York — approved measures to enshrine a right to abortion into their constitutions, according to the New York Times. …

“We celebrate the lives that will be saved with the defeat of pro-abortion ballot measures in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said in a statement. …

Several of the ballot initiatives that passed allow restrictions on the procedure after fetal viability — around week 22 of pregnancy — but feature language that would allow abortion to be performed up until birth …

In Nebraska, voters were faced with two opposing ballot initiatives, one that would enshrine a right into the state’s constitution and one that would uphold the state’s 12-week ban. Voters passed the 12-week protection with a majority vote, according to the NYT. …

Florida’s measure failed to meet the required 60% of the vote on Tuesday, keeping the state’s six-week abortion ban in place, according to the NYT. …

South Dakota voters shot down an amendment proposal that would have prevented any restrictions on abortion in the first trimester and up through birth …

“The demise of pro-abortion Amendment G is an enormous victory for life,” Dannenfelser said in a statement. “South Dakota is a beacon for how the pro-life movement can win future ballot measure fights. When the pro-life leaders speak up and expose the lies of the abortion industry, life wins.”
