Almost everywhere where abortion was on the ballot, Americans voted to protect it.

Of the 10 states where abortion rights were on the ballot Tuesday, seven voted in favor of expanding or enshrining abortion rights. The results are emblematic of what choice advocates have been saying for decades: abortion rights are wildly popular.

In the biggest win of the night, deep red Missouri moves to codify abortion protections in the state constitution. The measure will repeal the state’s near-total ban on abortion and restore access up to approximately 24 weeks of pregnancy — marking the first time since the fall of Roe v. Wade that voters overturn an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Voters in Maryland and Colorado supported amendments to enshrine access to abortion throughout pregnancy – a progressive victory in states that have become safe havens for abortion care later in life. pregnancy. Notably, Colorado’s amendment also repeals a 1984 state law that prohibited the use of public funds for abortion care.

Arizona, Montana and Nevada all voted to pass amendments codifying in the state constitution abortion based on fetal viability, or approximately 24 weeks of pregnancy.

New Yorkers adopted a historic amendment to expand the state’s equal rights amendment to include pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. The amendment also includes protections against discrimination based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

Three states – Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota – voted against abortion rights. A slim majority of Nebraska voters supported an anti-abortion amendment to codify the state’s current 12-week abortion ban, defeating the state’s competing abortion rights measure.

Florida’s result was particularly heartbreaking for pro-choice groups as a majority of Floridians (57%) supported the amendment, voting to restore access to abortion up to fetal viability. But because voters did not reach the 60% threshold for amending the state constitution, Amendment 4 did not pass.

“The reality is that because of the Florida Constitution, a minority – a minority – a minority of Florida voters decided that Amendment 4 would not pass,” said Lauren Brenzel, director of the Yes campaign On 4, during his concession speech Tuesday evening.

“Republicans, Democrats and Independents do not support these extreme abortion bans. They are tired of seeing women die because of the ban on abortion,” she continued. “…A bipartisan group of voters today sent a clear message to the Florida Legislature.”

Even though 7 in 10 states voted to protect abortion care, voters still supported a presidential candidate who most likely decimate women’s reproductive health care. Donald Trump may have avoided his anti-abortion record on the campaign trail, but now that he’s headed to the White House, those guardrails will likely come down.

Trump has waffle on a national ban on abortion, but many of his allies have presented a plan on how to ban abortion nationally in Project 2025.

A federal ban on abortion would trump state rights, including the abortion rights measures that seven states passed last night, according to Mary Ziegler, an expert on reproductive health law at the University of California. law from the University of California, Davis. The Comstock Act, an archaic law that prohibits the mailing of abortion pills, would also likely supersede state rights if Trump enforced it as a national abortion ban.

Although the Republican Party has taken control of the Senate, control of the House of Representatives – and with it, Trump’s ability to pass a national abortion ban through Congress – is still up in the air.

There will be litigation in every state that passed an abortion rights amendment Tuesday night. Opponents of these measures will likely file lawsuits against successful initiatives and fight to keep other abortion regulations in place, like waiting periods and mandatory counseling.This article was originally published on HuffPost.
