Voters in six states approved measures to protect or expand abortion rights, but a bid to restore protections for the procedure failed in Florida.

The ballot initiative in Florida would have allowed abortion up to the point of fetus viability, or around 24 weeks, but fell short of the 60% support threshold needed to pass.

Results are still awaited from some of the 10 states where abortion is on the ballot in this election, the first since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down national abortion rights two years ago.

The decision led many states to impose bans or severe restrictions on the app, restricting access for millions of American women.

In previous elections since the decision, campaigns to restore or preserve access using state-level ballot initiatives have been successful, including in reliably conservative states like Kansas, and have also been credited with helping mobilize Democratic voters.

But the dynamics were less clear this election cycle.

In Arizona, more than 60 percent of voters supported an amendment that would protect abortion rights to the point of validity. The measure extends access beyond the current 15 weeks currently allowed under state rules.

In Missouri, where a majority of voters support Donald Trump, an amendment aimed at repealing the state’s current ban also appeared headed for victory.

Campaigners in Florida had backed the change as a way to override strict legislation introduced earlier this year that bans abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, with limited exceptions.

But the measure faced fierce opposition from Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who mobilized state resources to persuade voters to vote “no.”

With 95% of votes reported, the Florida amendment is projected to receive support from 57% of voters, according to Reuters.

First-time Florida voter Betsy Linkhorst said the outcome in her state left her “heartbroken, scared and frankly worried about the future.”

“This was a very important opportunity to protect women’s rights and our ability to decide over our own bodies,” the 18-year-old said.

“This setback feels devastating, and I am saddened to think about the impact this will have on so many women across the state.”

Maria McNally, who voted against the amendment, said she believed it would allow abortions until pregnancy.

“I’m glad it failed,” he said.

Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, said the defeat was shaped in part by the state’s turnout for Donald Trump by unexpectedly large margins.

He cautioned against reading too much into the outcome, given the high bar at which the measure must be lifted.

“You don’t want to exaggerate the significance of what happened in Florida,” he said.

The results of abortion ballot initiatives were still pending in states such as South Dakota and Nebraska, which had laws preventing or restricting access to the procedure.

Most of the interventions considered will allow abortion until fetal viability, generally considered to be around 24 weeks, or later only if the pregnant woman’s health is at risk.

In Maryland and Colorado, where abortion is already legal, voters approved measures to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions.

In Colorado’s case, the change would also expand access, allowing abortions to be covered under state health insurance plans.

Nevada voters also approved a measure to include abortion rights in the state constitution. According to current rules, leave is allowed until the 24th week, with exceptions, in order to protect the mother’s life.

For the change to become law, a majority of voters would have to re-approve the measure within two years.

New York, where abortion is legal until birth, passed an amendment that would ban discrimination based on pregnancy or reproductive health.

When the dust settles from this election, Ms. Ziegler said, abortion rights advocates will be left with few untested opportunities to use the state’s voter referendums to protect abortion rights.

“We may or may not see the states continue to be the center of the fight; I don’t think we’ll know until we know who wins the White House,” he said.
