Abortion Policy Changes Continue Across U.S. Following Overturning of Roe v. Wade

States Propose Constitutional Amendments and Legal Battles Shift to State Courts as Abortion Rights Prevail in Ballot Measures

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, abortion-related questions have been on the ballot in seven states, with the abortion rights side prevailing in all.
Maryland and New York have already put questions on the November 2024 ballot to amend their state constitutions to include rights regarding reproductive health care.
Other states, including Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Virginia, Arizona, Florida, Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, and Pennsylvania, are considering or have already proposed changes to their abortion laws through ballot measures or legislative amendments.
Legal battles over abortion have shifted to state courts, with ongoing lawsuits in Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas over denied abortions due to pregnancy complications.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the FDA's approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, and state courts are considering several challenges to abortion bans and restrictions.
