Trump wins presidency as seven states enshrine abortion rights in constitutions

nj.com

Donald Trump has been declared the 47th President of the United States, but voters in seven states have passed measures to protect abortion rights. This marks a significant shift as states push back against Trump's previous policies on reproductive health. Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and New York all voted to enshrine reproductive rights in their state constitutions. These initiatives come as Trump’s administration is expected to pursue stricter federal policies on abortion, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In contrast, Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota saw abortion rights initiatives fail. Despite these setbacks, advocates emphasize that public support for abortion access remains strong across the country.
