Activists have been working to reshape high courts, which in recent years have become the final arbiters of a patchwork of laws regulating abortions.
With the arrival of new Chief Justice Cory Swanson, who ran as a judicial conservative for the nonpartisan seat and was sworn in Jan. 6, the court now leans more conservative than before the election.
Even with new voter-approved constitutional protections, courts will have to untangle a web of existing state laws on abortion and square them with any new ones legislators approve.
The new makeup of supreme courts in several states indicates that the results of the legal fights to come aren't clear-cut.
