Majority of States Approve Abortion Rights Amendments in Recent Votes

In recent elections, ten states considered amendments to guarantee abortion rights in their constitutions, with seven states approving the measures. Missouri and Arizona notably expanded access, while Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota rejected similar amendments, maintaining strict abortion laws. Some states, like Colorado and New York, codified existing protections, ensuring continued access. These results reflect a significant shift in abortion access across the U.S., with varying outcomes based on state politics and voter support.
