(SRN NEWS) – Abortion questions are on the ballot in several states in November and could help draw more voters to the polls.  Experts say it’s unclear which party might benefit from that surge.  The places with abortion ballot measures include the presidential battleground states of Arizona and Nevada, plus Montana, where the race for the Senate is expected to be close.  Abortion isn’t the only issue being put to the voters.  There are more than 140 questions being posed in 41 states, including ones having to do with marijuana legalization and sports betting.

A Christian school is taking its case to a federal appeals court.  Mid Vermont Christian School has been barred from participating in the state sports league after it withdrew its girls basketball team from a playoff game because the other team had a boy on its roster.  The executive council of the Vermont Principals’ Association, which governs school sports and activities, ruled that the school had violated the council’s policies on race, gender and disability awareness. In June, a federal judge denied a request by the school to be readmitted.

Construction is getting underway on a state-funded abortion clinic in southern New Mexico.  Operators say it will cater to local residents and seek to attract women from neighboring states with strong pro-life laws — including Texas and Oklahoma.  Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the start of construction during a visit to Las Cruces. The clinic will draw upon 10 million dollars in taxpayer funding that was set aside by the governor under a 2022 executive order.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is touting Vice President Kamala Harris’ record of promoting the LGBT agenda and pledging that she will continue to do so if elected president.  Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, says Harris helped President Biden craft executive orders promoting homosexuality in health care, the military and education.  Democrats are counting on LGBT Americans to turn out in large numbers for Harris on Election Day, although their ranks are small and experts do not expect them to be a difference maker.
