The foreign money behind US abortion support

 National Review:

In 2024, Missouri passed a ballot initiative that overturned a near-total abortion ban and made abortion legal in the state until the point of viability, thanks in part to millions of dollars in foreign funding.

Proponents of the measure far outspent their opponents, with more than $31 million spent on getting voters to support the ballot measure.

That includes millions of dollars in foreign funds contributed to the “Vote Yes” campaign by the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a D.C.-based dark money group that has taken nearly $300 million from Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. The group was one of the top donors to the ballot initiative, with $4.6 million spent.

Now, several states are focused on passing legislation to close a statutory loophole that allows foreign nationals to contribute money to ballot initiatives.

Election experts say the time to close the loophole is now, ahead of the 2025 and 2026 elections.

“It’s one of the most basic elements of self-governance of our elections that only citizens should be voting and only citizens should be making decisions in the context of elections,” said Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project.

States should ban foreign funding of elections.  I don't want a bunch of foreigners attempting to influence election results in Texas. There are already too many liberal wackos without the help of foreign liberal wackos. Why do foreign liberals want fewer babies in Texas or other conservative states?
