Abortion access on the ballot in 2024

While the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade eliminated the national right to abortion, leading to stricter abortion laws in more than 20 states, the fight for abortion access persists at the state level. This year, several states are pursuing ballot measures that would either enshrine abortion access in state constitutions or implement restrictions, signaling that the battle over abortion is far from over.

Of the six states that have already voted on abortion access, all have moved to protect abortion rights, including California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Vermont.
