Summary
Constitutional amendments to protect or expand abortion rights passed in seven of the 10 states where they were on the ballot, including Arizona, Missouri, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New York, and Colorado. These measures aim to protect existing rights and prevent future restrictions.
However, Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota voters rejected similar amendments, marking the first losses for pro-abortion-rights measures since the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
In Florida, the measure narrowly missed the 60% threshold required to pass, leaving the state’s six-week abortion ban in place.
I’m shocked Montana voted in only republicans, but allowed the right to abortion to be protected by the state constitution.
They are playing both sides so that either way they lose.
