According to the Fairness Project, which has helped fund and organize abortion rights initiatives, 21 GOP-led state legislatures have enacted severe restrictions or bans on abortion.

“At every turn, opponents of reproductive freedom and the right of voters to decide for themselves have challenged this grassroots, hugely popular amendment,” said Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project

“It’s an honor to have a tireless advocate of reproductive rights endorse the Fairness Project’s Abortion Ballot Measure fund as an effective way for concerned Americans to make a big difference in the fights that matter this election cycle and beyond,” Fairness Project Executive Director Kelly Hall said.

Arizona, Arkansas and Nebraska face deadlines for signatures in July, according to the Fairness Project, a ballot initiative-focused group that has been assisting volunteers with financial and organizational resources in Arizona, Florida, Montana and Missouri. The Project also worked on the successful ballot initiatives in Michigan and Ohio.

Kelly Hall, the executive director of The Fairness Project, one of the national groups backing the CI-128 campaign, said the opposition tactics playing out in Montana are “nearly identical” to those happening in other states considering reproductive rights initiatives, such as Arizona and Missouri.

“This milestone for the Missourians for Constitutional Freedom campaign means that voters are one step closer to being able to use the ballot measure process to secure their rights this November, and we are excited to be standing with them in that fight,” Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project, said.

Kelly Hall, executive director of The Fairness Project, said Missouri is “a poster child for what can be achieved through direct democracy” with proper investment. The Fairness Project supports progressive ballot measure campaigns around the country, including current efforts to put abortion on the ballot in Missouri, Arizona, Florida and Montana.

Kelly Hall, executive director of the Fairness Project, which has backed various abortion rights ballot initiatives across the country over the past few years, welcomed the successful signature collection campaign in Missouri on Friday.
