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

Voters in 10 states are deciding on ballot measures to guarantee abortion rights in their state constitutions. This follows the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision that ended the federal right to abortion. In states like Arizona, Florida, and Missouri, voters could overturn existing abortion bans. Nebraska has two conflicting measures: one to maintain a 12-week ban and another to protect abortion rights up to viability. Other states, including Colorado and South Dakota, are also voting on measures to establish or protect abortion rights. These developments mark significant changes in state-level abortion policies since the Supreme Court ruling.
