While abortion was metaphorically on the ballot cross the entire United States this presidential election campaign, abortion rights were also directly on the ballot in ten US states, with eight proposals to amend state constitutions.
The measures varied significantly: in some states, voters decided on overturning restrictions imposed after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. In others, voters decided “whether to boost protections for the procedure and make them harder to roll back if conservatives take power,” reports the Guardian.
