"Colorado Group Secures Enough Signatures for Abortion Rights Ballot Measure"

A Colorado campaign has gathered enough signatures to put an abortion rights ballot measure on the November ballot, aiming to enshrine abortion rights into the state's constitution. The amendment would prevent the government from taking away the right to abortion and override a 1984 measure that prohibits health insurance from covering abortion care for public employees and people on public insurance. The group expects challenges from opposition groups on the validity of the signatures, and the amendment would need a supermajority of 55% support from voters to pass.
