The Pro-Choice Ballot Winning Streak Ends
Briefly

During the recent elections, pro-choice advocates faced both victories and defeats regarding abortion policy; while previously undefeated, they confronted significant opposition in various states.
In Florida, despite 57% support for restoring Roe's protections, the constitutional amendment failed due to the 60% requirement, showcasing the challenges faced by abortion-rights advocates.
The campaign in South Dakota was notably overwhelming, where opposition forces significantly outspent proponents, leading to a decisive 59% 'no' vote against restoring stricter abortion regulations.
Nebraska's narrow defeat of a pre-viability abortion measure highlights the complexity of voter perception, complicated by a confusing ballot initiative that reinforced the state’s existing 12-week ban.
