State Supreme Court Elections Shape Abortion Rights Battle

Upcoming elections in multiple states could redefine abortion access as courts become pivotal in interpreting state laws post-Dobbs decision.

State supreme court races in 33 states, including Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina, are crucial for determining the future of abortion access.
In Ohio, a constitutional amendment protecting abortion faces challenges that will likely be decided by the state Supreme Court, currently holding a conservative majority.
Michigan's Supreme Court elections could shift the ideological balance as it prepares to address legal challenges to abortion restrictions under Proposition 3.
Significant funding from both conservative and progressive groups is pouring into these races, with abortion being a central issue for voters.
The outcomes of these elections will have lasting impacts on abortion rights, with state supreme courts serving as key arbiters of state constitutional law.
