Seven States Uphold Abortion Rights Amid Mixed Election Results
Originally Published 1 year ago — by POLITICO
In a significant shift in the post-Roe landscape, Missouri became the first state to overturn a near-total abortion ban, while seven states voted to protect or expand abortion rights. However, anti-abortion forces secured victories in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota, ending a two-year winning streak for abortion-rights advocates. Despite aggressive tactics by GOP officials and anti-abortion groups, including legal challenges and public pressure, the fight over reproductive rights continues, with activists planning further initiatives in states like Florida and Arkansas.
