The right of freedom of speech is enshrined in the constitution.

言论自由的权利被庄严载入宪法。

On Tuesday， the Missouri Secretary of State certified a ballot initiative that would end Missouri’s abortion ban， allowing it to appear on the November ballot as Amendment3. This means that abortion-related ballot initiatives are currently confirmed on the general election ballots in seven states.

周二，密苏里州国务卿认证了一项投票倡议，该倡议将结束密苏里的堕胎禁令，并允许其以第3号修正案的形式出现在11月的选票上。这意味着目前已有七个州在普选中确认了与堕胎相关的投票倡议。

Representatives were elected by ballot.

代表们是通过无记名投票选举出来的。

If the Administration won’t take the legislative initiative, Congress should help to begin fashioning conservation measures.

如果政府不争取立法的主动权，国会就应当帮助制定保护措施。

Rachel Sweet， campaign manager for Missourians for Constitutional Freedom，said in a press call after the announcement that it marks a “monumental achievement for our campaign, and a significant step forward for the rights of all Missourians.”

密苏里州宪法自由组织的竞选经理，雷切尔·斯威特在宣布后的新闻发布会上表示，“这对我们的竞选活动来说是一个‘里程碑式的成就’，也是密苏里州人民权利向前迈出的‘重要一步’。”

It was positively monumental.

那真是蔚为雄伟。

Organizers supporting the ballot initiative say that if the initiative passes， Missouri could be the first state to overturn a near-total ban on abortion that took effect after the SupremeCourt overruledRoe v. Wadee——the case that had provided a constitutional right to abortion access — in June 2022.

支持该投票倡议的组织者表示，如果倡议通过，密苏里州可能成为自最高法院于 2022 年 6 月推翻罗诉韦德案（该案曾为堕胎权提供宪法保障）以来，第一个推翻近乎全面堕胎禁令的州。

The Court of Appeal overturned the earlier decision.

上诉法庭推翻了早先作出的裁决。

Such a policy would not be constitutional.

这样的政策是不符合宪法的。

Since Roe v. Wade was overruled， 22 states have successfully enacted restrictions or bans on abortion， including enforcing pre-Roe laws， that are currently in effect. Fourteen states currently have total or near-total abortion bans.

自罗诉韦德案被推翻以来，已有 22 个州成功实施了堕胎限制或禁令（包括执行罗诉韦德案之前的法律），这些法律目前仍然有效。目前有 14 个州实施了全面或近乎全面的堕胎禁令。

A package of economic sanctions is to be enacted against the country.

将对这个国家实行一系列的经济制裁。

Kloss wrote in The Washington Post in April that the initiative “is an important step toward that future. We have to pass it， and then we have to build on it. I’m committed to staying in this fight until abortion is safely and affordably available for every patient nationwide.”According to St. Louis Public Radio， Kloss also helped gather signatures at the beginning of April for the petition.

克劳斯4月在《华盛顿邮报》上写道，该倡议“是迈向未来的重要一步。我们必须通过它，然后再接再厉。我将在这场斗争中坚持到底，直到堕胎在全国范围内能够安全且经济地为每一位患者提供服务。”据圣路易斯公共广播电台报道，克劳斯还于 4 月初协助收集了请愿签名。

We must build on our reputation to expand the business.

我们必须依靠信誉来扩展业务。

Much of today’s printed material will not survive to be available for future generations.

许多今天的印刷资料很难保存下来为后人所用。
