Ten states considered changes to their constitutions regarding abortion rights in this year's elections, resulting in seven states approving measures that enhance access.
In Missouri, voters enacted an amendment to guarantee abortion access up to fetal viability, reversing one of the nation's strictest bans, which only allowed exceptions for medical emergencies.
Arizona approved measures to enshrine abortion rights up to 24 weeks in their constitution, challenging the state's previous 15-week law, even allowing for additional exemptions.
In contrast, Florida's abortion rights proposal failed to meet the 60 percent threshold, reinforcing the state's strict six-week abortion ban and limiting access across the southern region.
