  2. Turn them in at UUCLC any Sunday in October
  3. The gift certificate will be awarded to the person who collects the most correctly signed petitions by the end of October.

Ballot Title: Amendment to Limit Governmental Interference with Abortion

Ballot Summary: No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s health care provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion  

Please contact Linda Myers or Karen Frank, if you have any questions.  We will be available every Sunday in October to collect the signed petitions.
