Recently on both the WashU Campus and in the surrounding neighborhoods, there have been many signature gatherers for a proposed referendum on abortion that the ACLU is trying to put onto the Missouri ballot this fall. This signature gatherers usually phrase their support of the referendum as being about “choice,” or “women’s rights,” and very rarely discuss what the referendum would actually do.
