Abortion Rights Gain Ground in Unexpected States
In the recent elections, voters in seven states, including Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada, approved measures to expand abortion access, even as some of these states also supported President-elect Trump and Republican candidates. This reflects a trend where voters separate their stance on abortion rights from their political party preferences. Despite Trump's mixed messages on abortion, a Republican-controlled Congress could still pursue federal restrictions. The Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to increased state-level actions on abortion rights, with voters often supporting expansions, though some measures failed in states like Florida and South Dakota.
