( NewsNation ) — Abortion-rights measures passed in 7 states and have failed in at least 1 thus far, as voters in nearly a dozen states were asked to decide whether reproductive rights should be guaranteed.
A record 10 states had abortion rights measures on their ballots this year in response to restrictions and bans on reproductive rights across the country.
Abortion measures on state ballots
Arizona , Colorado , Maryland , Missouri , Montana , Nevada and New York approved the abortion rights measures, NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ has projected. Florida voters are projected to reject an abortion access measure, leaving the state’s bans intact.
The measure passed in Missouri with support from more than 74% of voters, according to Decision Desk HQ. The state will now have a constitutional amendment protecting abortion until fetal viability, with the exception when a health care professional determines it’s necessary to protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant woman.
