On July 5, outside the Arkansas Capitol, supporters and opponents of a proposed ballot measure to scale back the state's abortion ban held signs, showcasing the ongoing contention surrounding this sensitive issue.
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that abortion will not be on the ballot in November, enforcing a state rejection of a petition aimed at advancing abortion access.
The court's majority endorsed Secretary of State John Thurston's decision to dismiss a petition over the failure to submit necessary training certifications for paid canvassers.
This ruling stifled months of campaigning by Arkansans for Limited Government, who aimed to legalize abortion under specific conditions, thereby reflecting the state's stringent stance on the issue.
