A major issue in the November election was abortion rights. Aside from the issue’s impact on the presidential race, voters in many states have a say in measures to expand or limit abortion rights.

Most Republican-controlled states have imposed restrictions on abortion since the 2022 decision; these include 14 states that ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy. Most Democratic-led states have laws or executive orders to protect access.

Voters in all seven states with abortion-related questions before voters since 2022 sided with those who supported abortion rights.

Here are the voting numbers of 10 states in 2024:

Arizona, passed

Arizona voted to amend the state constitution to add the right to an abortion up to approximately the 24th week of pregnancy.

The amendment would prevent Arizona from banning abortions before the fetus can survive outside the womb and allow abortions later to protect the woman’s physical or mental health.

Opponents said it went too far and could lead to unrestricted and unregulated abortions in Arizona. Supporters say it would keep abortion access free from political interference.

In Arizona, abortion was legal during the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Colorado, passed

Voters in Colorado approved a measure that would include abortion protections in the state constitution, along with requirements that Medicaid and private health insurers cover abortions, on the ballot for the fall election.

Florida rejected

Florida voters on Tuesday rejected ballot measures to protect abortion rights, handing the victory to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who used state resources and campaigned heavily to eliminate the issues.

The abortion measure would prevent lawmakers from passing any legislation that would penalize, ban, delay or restrict abortions until after what doctors say is fetal viability at 21 weeks. The state’s restrictive six-week abortion law remains in effect. Florida, Roe v. It is one of the first states to reject abortion rights by vote since the dismissal of the Wade case.

Former president Donald Trump went back and forth on how he would vote on the state’s abortion rights initiative before ultimately saying he would oppose it.

Marylanders voted to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

Missouri, passed

Missouri voters decided to affirm the right to abortion with a constitutional amendment that would lift a near-total ban in the state.

Montana, passed

Abortion was already legal in the state until 1999, when an opinion by the Montana Supreme Court took effect.

Nebraska rejected

Nebraska had mixed votes on two rival abortion measures.

Voters passed a measure that allows for more abortion restrictions and strengthens the state’s existing 12-week ban.

Voters rejected a rival measure that would have guaranteed abortion rights.

Nevada, passed

An amendment passed in Nevada would provide access to abortion during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy or later to protect the health of the pregnant woman.

To change the constitution, voters would have to re-ratify it in 2026.
