"A "yes" vote in 2026 would allow the state to restrict abortion to cases of medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, and rape or incest when the pregnancy is under 12 weeks' gestation. Voters would also decide whether the government can pass legislation further amending abortion access, including requirements for parental consent for minors seeking abortions. The intrigue: The measure also asks if the government should prohibit gender-affirming care procedures for minors - a policy the Trump administration has aggressively pursued during the president's second term."
"To protect abortion access in 2026, Nevada voters would need to approve the same ballot measure they passed in 2024 for a second time. Abortion is currently legal in Nevada, though the state has banned the procedure after 25 weeks and six days. Zoom in: Supporters are seeking to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. Nevada's government would retain the authority to regulate abortion after fetal viability."
Missouri voters will face a 2026 ballot measure that could rescind the constitutional right to abortion and narrow legal abortions to medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, and rape or incest when pregnancies are under 12 weeks' gestation. Voters would also decide whether the government can pass further abortion restrictions, including parental-consent requirements for minors. The measure asks whether the government should prohibit gender-affirming care procedures for minors. Nevada requires voters to reapprove a 2024 abortion-rights ballot measure in 2026 to protect access; abortion is legal there but banned after 25 weeks and six days, and the state may regulate after fetal viability. Virginia could see a Reproductive Freedom Amendment ballot measure introduced via a House joint resolution.
