Reproductive Rights Other Ballot Measures

Reproductive Rights

Ten states included abortion measures on the ballot in 2024 (per Kaiser Family Foundation) that would expand or clarify abortion rights. Two ballot measures appeared in Presidential battleground states (AZ & NV), and five (AZ, NV, FL, MD, and MT) appeared in states with closely-watched Senate races.

Nebraska had two dueling measures: one to amend the state constitution to recognize a fundamental right to abortion up to viability and another to amend the constitution to ban abortion in the second and third trimesters.
