Abortion Rights Win Big in Red and Blue States Amid Trump Victory
Voters across the U.S. backed abortion rights in state ballots, even as Donald Trump secured the presidency.
- Seven out of ten states with abortion measures voted to protect abortion rights, including traditionally conservative states like Missouri and Montana.
- Arizona, Missouri, Nevada, and Montana passed ballot measures with more support than Trump received in these states.
- Despite Trump's presidency, the election results highlight the bipartisan appeal of reproductive rights across the nation.
- Florida's abortion rights measure narrowly failed due to a 60% threshold requirement, despite 57% voter support.
- Concerns remain about federal actions potentially undermining state-level protections, emphasizing the need for vigilance and advocacy.
