“Abortion is on the ballot” has become Democrats’ favorite refrain since the Supreme Court killed Roe v. Wade two years ago, and in several states this November, it literally will be. At the end of last week, three states—Arizona, Nebraska, and Arkansas—each submitted well over the number of signatures required to get on the ballot in hopes of enshrining abortion rights into their state Constitutions. (Their respective secretaries of state still need to validate these signatures and approve the proposed measures.)

But collecting the hundreds of thousands of signatures necessary was far more complicated than it should have been. In every state where abortion rights activists are working to get a ballot measure approved, anti-abortion activists are wielding harassment, intimidation campaigns, and outright lies to try and stop their efforts. Deception has become the standard from the anti-abortion movement, Kelly Hall, executive director of Fairness Project, told Jezebel, because “they know or fear they’re going to lose a conversation about the substance of the issue.”
