Abortion measures on ballot in 10 US states during election
Abortion measures were on the ballot in 10 U.S. states during the recent election. These measures aimed to amend state constitutions to protect abortion rights, following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision that removed federal protections. In Florida, a measure to guarantee abortion rights failed, requiring 60% approval. Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, Montana, Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, New York, and Maryland also had measures, with results still pending. Each state has different current laws regarding abortion access. The outcomes of these ballot measures could significantly impact abortion rights in these states, reflecting ongoing national debates on the issue.
