Reproductive rights measures on the ballot in multiple states as voters decide on abortion access

Voters in several states are deciding on ballot measures related to abortion access, reflecting ongoing debates since the Supreme Court's 2022 decision. Ten states, including Arizona, Colorado, and Maryland, are voting on constitutional amendments and initiatives that could change abortion regulations. In Arizona, Proposition 139 aims to establish a fundamental right to abortion. Colorado's Amendment 79 seeks to protect abortion rights in the state constitution, while Florida's Amendment 4 would overturn a six-week abortion ban. Other states, like Missouri and Montana, are also considering measures to define abortion rights and regulations. New York's Amendment 1 focuses on preventing discrimination based on pregnancy outcomes, while South Dakota's Amendment G would limit state regulations on abortion in the first trimester. Results from these measures could significantly impact future healthcare policies.
