NBC News Political Campaign Embed Alex Tabet joins Meet the Press NOW to report on how abortion right may make it onto the ballot in Arizona this November. Abortion rights groups collected a record-breaking number of signatures needed.

A proposed amendment to enshrine access to abortion care in the Arkansas state constitution got one step closer to appearing on the November 2024 ballot, after the group behind it submitted the required number of valid signatures on Friday.

The proposal would also protect abortion access for all pregnancies beyond that point that were the result of rape and incest and in all instances where there is a fatal fetal anomaly and when abortion care is necessary to protect the pregnant woman’s life or physical health. Currently, nearly all abortion care in Arkansas is banned under a 2022 state law that snapped into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
