that the state’s constitution guarantees a right to abortion. Now, posing as “reasonable” moderates, anti-abortion extremists in the state are trying to ban abortion through a ballot measure in the upcoming primary election that would change the state constitution to assert there is no guaranteed right to an abortion. This would open the door for the Republican super-majority in the legislature to pass an abortion ban and override a veto from Gov.
