Voters in 10 states to decide on abortion access in 2024 election
In the 2024 election, voters in 10 states will decide on abortion access through ballot measures. This follows the Supreme Court's 2022 decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, prompting states to address reproductive rights directly.
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota will have various measures. These include proposals to establish or protect the right to abortion, amend existing laws, or create new regulations.
If approved, these measures could expand abortion access in states with strict bans. Currently, many states have enacted significant restrictions since Roe was reversed, with some imposing near-total bans.
