Abortion Rights on the Ballot in Nine States Amid 2024 Elections

Voters are deciding on measures that could reshape abortion access for millions, impacting key political races.

Nine states are voting on constitutional amendments regarding abortion rights, potentially overturning existing restrictions in places like Arizona, Florida, and Missouri.
The ballot measures could affect more than 7 million women of childbearing age, with significant implications for state and national political dynamics.
Recent reports highlight the severe consequences of strict abortion laws, with cases in Texas and Georgia underscoring the life-threatening risks women face under current bans.
In Nebraska, two competing measures could either solidify a 12-week abortion ban or extend rights up to fetal viability, with the measure receiving the most votes prevailing.
The outcome of these measures could influence the presidential race, with candidates like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump taking divergent stances on abortion rights.
