Overview
- Voters in Idaho, Nevada, Virginia and Missouri will decide Nov. 3 on ballot measures that would either restore, enshrine or restrict abortion access across the four states.
- Idaho’s Proposition 1 would create a statutory right to abortion up to fetal viability and is pitched as a reversal of the state’s near‑total ban that critics say has driven doctors out and forced emergency transfers.
- Nevada’s Question 6 would add abortion protections to the state constitution but must win approval in this second election after passing in 2024 to take effect under Nevada’s two‑vote rule.
- Virginia’s Question 1 is a constitutional amendment to guarantee broad reproductive‑freedom rights, protecting decisions on prenatal and postpartum care, contraception, pregnancy loss and abortion.
- Missouri’s Amendment 3 would overturn the state’s 2024 constitutional protection, sharply limit abortion exceptions and constitutionally bar gender‑affirming care for minors, while national campaigns largely downplay the issue during the midterms.
