Abortion Rights Measures Face Legal Battles Ahead of November Ballots

Ten states will vote on abortion-related amendments, with opponents using legal and administrative tactics to block measures.

  • Missouri Supreme Court ruled to keep an abortion rights measure on the November ballot after legal challenges by the state's Republican attorney general.
  • Florida's Amendment 4 faces opposition from state officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis, who have launched investigations and disseminated controversial information.
  • Arizona's Proposition 139, which would create a fundamental right to abortion, has faced legal and administrative hurdles but remains on the ballot.
  • Nebraska will present voters with two competing measures: one to protect abortion rights and another to restrict them, reflecting deep divisions in the state.
  • Abortion rights measures are also slated for ballots in Colorado, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota, with potential to overturn existing bans or enshrine protections.
