Voters in ten US states decide on abortion rights with seven states expanding protections

Voters in ten U.S. states recently decided on abortion rights measures, with results now confirmed. Seven states approved amendments to protect or expand abortion rights, while Florida's attempt to restore protections failed to meet the required support. Notable victories include states like Michigan and Ohio, which amended their constitutions to safeguard abortion access until fetal viability. However, efforts to roll back bans in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota did not succeed. This year's voting follows a trend where previous measures aimed at protecting abortion rights have consistently passed, even in conservative states. The outcomes may lead to further legal and legislative actions regarding abortion laws in these states.
