Florida voters reject abortion rights measure as results come in from nine states

On November 5, voters in ten U.S. states decided on measures related to abortion rights. In Florida, a proposal to roll back a six-week abortion ban was rejected, breaking a winning streak for abortion rights supporters in previous states. Other states, like Missouri and Arizona, had measures to expand abortion access. Arizona's proposal aims to enshrine the right to abortion until about 24 weeks, while Colorado seeks to block government discrimination against individuals' reproductive choices. Results are still pending in several states, with some measures requiring high thresholds to pass. New York voters approved a measure to enhance anti-discrimination laws, which advocates say includes abortion protections.
