I just want to point out that both the abortion amendment and the marijuana amendment here in Florida had bolded text on them added by the state - in the case of the abortion one, including the dubious claim that "it will increase the number of abortions performed" and both still won the popular vote, more in favor than opposed, they just didn't make 60%.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What exceptions are there for this I wonder.
Over here it's legal up to the 10th week, but until the 24th for malformations or something.
None those matter now. Trump going install a national federal abortion ban. Which essential makes all those state's that projected it illegal.
Not sure, but I'm reading that he said he'd veto a national abortion ban.
He's a loose cannon, but ultimately he will do what he's told to by his overlords
He says a lot of things. Few of them are true. I guarantee Congress will write the law, and I see no reason Trump would veto it. He is in a position of power, he can always get his mistress an abortion regardless of legality.
By the way, if you are looking to get an abortion in a state that does not allow it, check out the four thieves vinegar collective.
