•Opponents use parental rights, anti-trans messages to fight abortion ballot measures

Voters in nine states will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions.
Opponents are using parental rights and anti-transgender messages to try to undermine support for the ballot proposals.
Legal experts say changing existing parental notification and consent laws regarding abortions and gender-affirming care for minors would require court action.
"It's really outlandish to suggest that this amendment relates to things like gender reassignment surgery for minors," one expert says.
Anti-abortion groups are "still looking for a winning recipe," law professor says.
Opponents say the measure cuts parents out of the equation.
They say it's part of a "constant stream of misinformation" from anti-abortion opponents.
The measure failed in Michigan and Ohio , but is leaning on it for November .
