Voters in 10 states decide on abortion access measures in 2024 election

wcvb.com

Voters in 10 states are deciding on measures related to abortion access in the 2024 election. This follows the Supreme Court's 2022 decision that removed the national right to an abortion, leading to various state-level restrictions. Most ballot measures aim to protect abortion rights by adding them to state constitutions. These efforts come after several states enacted strict laws following the Dobbs decision. Anti-abortion groups are also supporting initiatives to limit access, but similar proposals have previously failed in other states. Results from these measures will be closely monitored as they come in.
