An Arkansas abortion advocacy group does not have enough signatures to put an amendment legalizing the procedure on the November ballot.

On Thursday, Leslie Bellamy on behalf of the secretary of state's office signed an affidavit saying the group only collected 87,675 signatures. This is less than the over 90,000 signatures needed to put the amendment on the ballot. 912 other signatures were thrown out on a technicality.

The signatures were gathered by Arkansas For Limited Government, a group aiming to pass an amendment in Arkansas to legalize abortion up to the 18th week of pregnancy.
