Arkansas Supreme Court reviews lawsuit over Arkansas Abortion Amendment signature rejection.

Arkansas Supreme Court reviews lawsuit over abortion amendment rejection: The Arkansas Abortion Amendment group, Arkansans for Limited Government, submitted 102,000 signatures to place the measure on the November ballot requiring 90,704. However, Secretary of State John Thurston rejected 14,143 signatures due to lack of required documents related to paid canvassers. The group accuses Thurston of ideological discrimination, citing his relationship with an anti-abortion group and participation in anti-abortion rallies.
