Abortion is on the ballot in nine states and motivating voters across the US

Summary

Voters in nine states are deciding whether to enshrine abortion rights in their constitutions, potentially overturning restrictions for millions: Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Maryland, Montana, and Nevada.

Key states, including Arizona, Florida, and Missouri, have measures that could challenge current bans, though obstacles remain, such as Florida’s 60% approval threshold.

Support for abortion rights has grown since Roe v. Wade’s reversal, with national attention as Vice President Harris champions reproductive rights while Trump faces scrutiny over his mixed abortion stance.
