Fighting for the Right to Ballot Initiatives
Dr. Anna Fitz-James filed suit alleging that Missouri Secretary of State John R. Ashcroft’s summary statements of her Right to Reproductive Freedom initiative were unfair, misleading, and argumentative. Fitz-James argued the Secretary’s summary did not allow voters to make informed decisions about the initiative. LWV of Missouri filed an amicus brief supporting her efforts to replace the Secretary's summaries with accurate descriptions of the ballot initiative.
