The newly proposed constitutional amendment would go back to voters in November 2026, or sooner, if Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe calls a special election before then.

Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month.

Immediately after vote, protestors erupted with chants of “Stop the ban!” and were ushered out of the Senate chamber.

    You’d be dead. Cops shoot first and ask questions later here. We’re hostages to our government

      We’re only hostages as individuals. If we decided we’d all had enough there isnt a thing they could do about it. There’s over 330 million of us here. We outnumber these idiots 100,000 to 1.

      We’re only hostages to our government if we don’t shoot back. There’s infinitely more of us than there are them.
