Voters in at least 5 states restore reproductive rights
Raw StoryIn the first presidential election since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed state governments to determine if, when and why a woman can end a pregnancy, former President Donald Trump, who touted during the campaign he “was able to kill Roe v. Wade” appeared poised to be reelected early Wednesday. “In fact, the amendment goes even further, calling for ‘a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, defined to include abortion and all matters relating to reproductive health care.’ By saying yes to this powerful language, voters have demanded the return of the essential human rights and freedoms they lost after Roe was overturned.” But abortion-rights advocates suffered a major loss in Florida, which barely failed to clear a 60% supermajority threshold, more than any of the other state abortion initiatives. Arizona — Proposition 139, to enshrine abortion rights until fetal viability — APPROVED YES: 63% NO: 37% In this swing state, abortion is currently legal until 15 weeks’ gestation. Florida — Amendment 4, to enshrine abortion rights until viability — FAILED YES: 57% NO: 43% This citizen-initiated amendment would have overturned a 6-week abortion ban that has impacted the Southeast. Montana — Constitutional Initiative 128, to enshrine abortion rights until fetal viability — RESULTS NOT FINAL YES: 58% NO: 42% This citizen-initiated amendment would guarantee protections in a state where abortion is currently legal but where Republican lawmakers have attempted to pass restrictions since Roe fell in 2022.
