Nebraska passes anti-abortion measure while Florida voters reject protections
Voters in Nebraska approved a measure that restricts abortion in the first trimester, marking a shift against abortion rights in the state. This is the first anti-abortion ballot measure to pass since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In contrast, Florida voters rejected a measure aimed at protecting abortion rights. Advocates claimed a majority opposed the state's strict six-week abortion ban, despite the measure failing to meet the required support threshold. Abortion-related measures are on the ballot in ten states, with four states voting to protect reproductive rights. The outcomes may influence the upcoming presidential election, particularly in key swing states.
