Colorado voters to decide on abortion rights after measure qualifies for ballot

Supporters gather enough valid signatures to put measure - that would enshrine abortion rights into constitution - on to ballot

Voters in Colorado will have a say on abortion rights this fall after supporters collected enough valid signatures to put a measure on the ballot, part of a national push to pose abortion rights questions to voters since the US supreme court removed the nationwide right to abortion.

The Colorado measure officially made the ballot on Friday and would enshrine abortion rights into the constitution in a state which already allows abortion at all stages of pregnancy despite the supreme court's overturning of Roe v Wade.
