Did I hear the commercial supporting this right, that stated, "if this passes your family will also save money because groceries are very expensive"?
The radio commercial is a straight copy of the st judes hospital spots. "Please feed us sir, we're just poor starving kids!"

They claim each kid in the family will save that family over $1000.00 per year while in school.
Both Measures 1 & 2 ads are very misleading & false.=They even claim that M-1 effects gun rights! What a scam!

The "Fairness Project" is not spending money to defeat Measure One for no reason, they want to bring the progressive ideology to ND, which includes abortion, free healthcare, minimum wage, and yes even gun rights. The Fairness Project is not going away, and will continue to chip away at our constitution, especially if their agenda passes.

From the article:
North Dakota Right to Life and figures such as North Dakota’s Catholic bishops are among those urging “yes” votes on Measure 1.
State Sen. Janne Myrdal, an anti-abortion leader in the Legislature, said she expects the Washington, D.C.-based Fairness Project or another out-of-state group will support a ballot initiative to add abortion rights to North Dakota’s constitution in 2028.

“That is their stated intention, and that’s been their intention all along, is from what we’re seeing now,” said Myrdal, R-Edinburg.

The Fairness Project has spent more than $1.6 million to defeat Measure 1, according to online campaign finance filings as of Friday.

Measure 1 supporters have cited statements on the organization’s website, such as:
“We’re running progressive policies in red states — and we’re winning.” Its website lists a Virginia reproductive rights measure among its campaigns.

North Dakota has a near-total ban on abortion.

In the group’s 2023-2024 Impact Report, the Fairness Project describes defeating North Dakota’s Measure 2 in 2024 — a measure Myrdal introduced that would have added several requirements amounting to a higher bar to amend the state constitution, such as a single-subject requirement, more ballot initiative petition signatures and approval in two elections.

The report said: “We won with 57% of the vote, keeping North Dakota on the map for a future abortion ballot measure, minimum wage, paid sick leave, and more.”

The report also describes a constitutional initiative for abortion rights as “an option” for six states in 2026, including North Dakota. Such a measure did not emerge this year.
